Interim CEO appointed at MUA
Following the resignation of CEO Adriaan Louw at the end of March 2009, the MUA Board has appointed its Chairman, Rory Gainsford, who will assume leadership at the company until a new CEO is announced. Rory is well known in the insurance industry and is no stranger to MUA having served on its Board from 1998 – 2001. Rory, together with the MUA Regional Managers - Sandra Boy, Leigh Friend, Elsabe van Zyl and Mel Barthus, and their teams, will ensure continued excellent service to the broker market.
Adriaan Louw says, "MUA is well placed and will continue serving the insurance community with a strong management team and caring staff. I know that I leave a sound and prosperous business in very capable hands. After 14 years with MUA, it is now time for me to pursue other challenges."
MUA’s Board of Director’s has already formed a team to manage the replacement process and hopes to announce the new CEO within the next two months.
Lireas Holdings (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of the Hannover Re Group was a founding shareholder of the original Motor Underwriting Agency (Pty) Ltd. At the time, MUA was a pioneer in its field being one of the first underwriting agencies in South Africa. Lireas is proud of their long association with MUA and fully endorses MUA as a specialist underwriting agency for executive motor and home insurance.
