Zurich confirms Norgrove appointment

Ken Norgrove

Zurich has confirmed the appointment of Ken Norgrove as chief executive for its general insurance business in Ireland.

The move, first revealed by Post last month, comes after former Ireland CEO Patrick Manley was revealed as the successor to Annette Court as Zurich's Europe CEO.

Commenting on the appointment, Mr Manley said: "Ken brings extensive domestic and overseas insurance experience to his new role with Zurich.

"We are confident that his expertise will be a great addition to the Irish operation and he will play a key role in growing and developing our business offering in the years ahead."

Mr Norgrove quit Travelers in December after only months at the company. Speculation he was due to join Zurich in a senior Ireland-based role was dismissed by the insurer as "rumour" at the time.

He joined Travelers last autumn after departing RSA in March 2010, where he was director of SME business and CEO of group renewable energy.
