Tower Insurance, a part of RSA Group, has appointed Emmet McQuillan as managing director, succeeding Peter Gallagher who has led the Isle of Man-based insurer for nine years.

Gallagher is retiring after 44 years of service at RSA. He has held a variety of international roles within RSA including leading the company’s operations in Jeddah in Saudia Arabia, Kuala Lumpar in Malaysia, Jamaica and Curacao in the Caribbean.

McQuillan, a chartered insurer and former president of the Insurance Institute of the Isle of Man, has worked for RSA his entire career. He was previously underwriting manager at Tower.

Lee Mooney, director of commercial risk solutions at RSA, said: “Peter’s contribution to RSA Group has been outstanding. His leadership and management skills have been invaluable and he has engaged staff in many offices with his warmth and inclusive nature, leading to some fantastic results. I’m delighted with the appointment of Emmet who brings a wealth of experience and skills to his new role.”

McQuillan commented: “I am honoured to have been appointed as the new MD of Tower Insurance. I am confident that Tower can continue to be the insurer of choice on the island and to develop our offering over the coming years, taking full advantage of technology, our excellent broker network on the island and our group relationship with RSA.”
