Richard Heppell has been appointed as chief financial officer of Britannia P&I, one of the largest protection and indemnity insurers.
Heppell will work alongside current CFO Philip Whittaker for an initial transition period.
Whittaker has been filling the role on a temporary basis following the retirement of Jo Rogers.
The plan is for Whittaker to return to his previous role as chief operating officer once the transition is complete.
