ABI selects new chief

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has appointed Huw Evans as its next Director-General.

He will take over in February from Otto Thoresen, who will become Chairman of the National Employment Savings Trust.

ABI Chairman Paul Evans says the board unanimously supported the appointment, praising Mr Evans’ determination in enhancing the association’s “efficiency and effectiveness”.

Huw Evans joined the ABI in 2008 and was appointed director of policy and deputy director-general in October last year.
