The THB Group has made three of its senior executives members of its board, with effect from 1 July.
Human resources director Corinne Hepworth, chief executive retail operations Paul Dudley, and Thompson Heath & Bond managing director Frank Murphy have all been appointed to the group's board.
THB also said it intended to split the roles of chairman and chief executive with the appointment of a non-executive chairman during the current financial year. Vic Thompson currently holds both roles.
Thompson said: “The appointment of Corinne, Paul and Frank will strengthen the main board, bringing a wealth of insurance experience and expertise in different disciplines to bear on our decision-making.”
The group will report its results for the year ended April 2004 during July, with the results expected to be in line with market forecasts, said THB.
