In memory of Chris Pickering

FAnews would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to all staff, and in particular Celeste Buitendag, at ACE Insurance for the loss of Chris Pickering. Gary Jack, CEO of Ace sent out the following communique.

Dear All, 

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing away of Christopher Thomas Pickering. Chris joined ACE in 2013 as a business development underwriter in the A&H division and earned himself a good reputation both internally and externally, through hard work, a positive attitude & a good temperament. 

Chris will be dearly missed by all that knew him, and it is a huge loss not only to our organisation, but to the insurance industry as a whole. 

With regards to business continuity, all Corporate A&H related business will continue to be handled by the team as follows: 

•          Mike De Jong – Head of A&H; [email protected]
•          Claudia Lemon – Underwriting Manager, A&H; [email protected]
•          Neil Beaumont – Head of Business Development; [email protected] 

Details around the funeral arrangements will be sent in due course following discussion with the family. 

Regards,

Gary Jack

CEO, South Africa
