’His positive energy and relentless focus on our brokers will be greatly missed,’ says managing director

RSA’s David Enoch has decided to retire following a 40-year career in the financial services industry.

Enoch, who most recently served as distribution and proposition director at the insurer, will be in touch with brokers “to ensure a smooth transition and continuous, uninterrupted service”.

A successor has not yet been announced.

Sonya Bryson, managing director for commercial lines at RSA, said: “Enoch has been an invaluable part of my senior team, contributing to our growth, culture and success.

“His leadership, expertise and vision have helped steer us through the integration of NIG and RSA, setting the combined business up for sustained success.

“His positive energy and relentless focus on our brokers will be greatly missed and I wish him much happiness in his next chapter.”

Experience

Enoch’s career began in the 1980s, with him having spent 10 years at Commercial Union.

After working at a few banks, he moved to Aspen in 2010 as a general manager, before being promoted to the role of head for England and Wales.

In 2019, Enoch moved to NIG, where he served as head of strategic broker relationships, marketing and propositions.

RSA agreed a deal to buy the NIG and FarmWeb brands in September 2023, with RSA chief executive Ken Norgrove telling brokers that “we will move to one brand this time next year”.

As part of the transition, Enoch took up the role of distribution and proposition director in May 2024.

Speaking about his decision to retire, Enoch said: “After much reflection, and 40 incredible years in the financial services industry working alongside wonderful colleagues, brokers and customers, I have made the heartfelt decision to retire.

“With many exciting initiatives underway and a huge opportunity for RSA to really transform, I’m proud of the significant strides we’ve made so far towards building a market leading insurer.

“My journey with RSA began with the NIG acquisition and I’m confident RSA has a bright future ahead. I will be watching and cheering on its continued success from the sidelines. In the meantime, I look forward to catching up with and supporting our brokers.”
