Ardonagh Group appoints deputy CEO

UK insurance intermediary The Ardonagh Group has appointed Janice Deakin as deputy chief executive officer (CEO).

Deakin will continue to lead distribution as CEO of that segment, a role she has held since the creation of Ardonagh in June 2017 that brought together Autonet, Chase Templeton, Direct Group, Price Forbes and Towergate.

During that time she has overseen the acquisitions of Healthy Pets, Carole Nash and Mastercover, having played a central role in the refinancing and formation of the group, according to the press release.

"Janice has spent the last few months adding to a phenomenal team of leaders to build an unrivalled top table of talent,” said Ardonagh CEO David Ross. “This week, Rob Worrell will join the existing team as CEO Insurance Broking and hit the ground running as very much his own CEO, which is a testament to her inclusive and empowering style."

Deakin added: "As we continue to grow, to seek targeted acquisitions and increase our prominence across various sectors and geographies, I am really excited to be supporting David; to be giving him the bandwidth he needs to continue the tremendous momentum we have created, seeing every opportunity, or indeed creating them."
