Employee benefits and services provider Personal Group Holdings has appointed Liam McGrath as chief operating officer.
McGrath has held COO and senior operations roles at private and public companies within the financial, insurance and technology sectors, including five years as group COO of Equiniti Group.
He has also previously been head of lending operations at Royal Bank of Scotland, UK operations director at Chaucer Insurance Syndicates and group COO at IT services provider Advanced Computer Software Group.
Personal Group CEO Deborah Frost said the firm was delighted to welcome Liam to the team and to the board.
“His substantial experience ranges across all the different aspects of our group, including a deep knowledge of the insurance market, and we are sure it will be incredibly valuable in supporting our expansion plans,” she said.
“His appointment represents a bolstering of the skills and capacity available at the most senior level of the business, reflecting our continued focus on preparing for and driving growth.
“Liam is fully committed to our vision of creating a brighter future for the UK workforce, supporting and protecting employees across the country. We are excited to start working together.”
McGrath assumes his role from 24 May and will be appointed to the company’s board from the same date, pending the requisite approvals by the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority.
