RSA Insurance has reshuffled its commercial lines leadership team, following its recent acquisition of NIG/FarmWeb. The revamped line-up will operate under the direction of Sonya Bryson, who is joining in May as managing director of commercial lines at RSA.

Leading the combined business are seasoned professionals from both RSA and NIG, who are tasked with spearheading initiatives across various segments of the commercial lines unit.

Steve Scott will transition from his role at NIG as director of broker markets to take on the mantle of regional director, with a focus on mid-market and regionally-traded business. Steve Hedge will continue his tenure as delegated director, overseeing schemes and delegated authority business. Tovah Grosscurth, previously at the helm of personal lines strategy & performance, will serve as commercial lines digital director in charge of SME and eTrade business.

David Enoch, meanwhile, was appointed as distribution & proposition director, moving from his position at NIG where he managed strategic broker relationships, marketing, and propositions. Rob Flynn, formerly SME director, will step into the role of chief transformation director for commercial lines. He will focus on transformational strategies, technological advancements, and data utilisation to enhance business performance.

RSA chief executive Ken Norgrove expressed his optimism about the restructured team’s potential to elevate the company’s standing in the market. He stated: “This is a transformational moment for RSA as we bring together the best of RSA and NIG to create a focussed commercial lines business that’s market-leading for broker service, responsiveness, and profitable growth.”

Norgrove further emphasized the strategic importance of the leadership overhaul, saying: “I’m confident under Sonya’s leadership that we have the right structure and senior team in place to drive the business to a position of outperformance, as the leading general insurer in the UK market, known for our exceptional broker service and leading technical capabilities.”
