Group Executive Changes
Saga plc ("Saga" or "the Group"), the UK's specialist in
products and services for life after 50, today announces changes to
its Group Executive structure.
Robin Shaw has been appointed to the new role of CEO of Saga
Travel. Following a restructure of our travel business we are
combining the Tour Operations and Cruise roles. Robin was
previously CEO of Saga Cruises.
Jeannette Linfoot, MD of our Tour Operations, left the business
at the end of December.
As part of succession planning for our retail broking business,
Gary Duggan has taken over from Roger Ramsden as CEO of Saga
Services, our retail broker. Gary joined Saga Services in September
this year as its CEO Designate and will also take responsibility
for Saga Money, our financial services business. Gary has a wealth
of financial services and insurance experience at GE, Barclays, and
BGL. Most recently he was Managing Director of Junction, BGL's
General Insurance partnerships business. Roger was due to take up a
new role within the Group but this will now not be taken forward
following the review of the Group's operating structure. Roger will
leave the business in Q1 2018 after completing a phased handover to
Gary.
Lance Batchelor, CEO, said:
"These changes provide us with a more focused Executive team as
we target and invest in growth in the Saga customer base to achieve
our long-term ambitions.
Roger and Jeanette leave with my warmest thanks for the
significant contributions they have made to the business and I wish
them both all the best for the future."
