(Alliance News) - Aviva PLC on Tuesday said it has named Director George Culmer as chair, effective from next Wednesday.
The FTSE 100-listed general insurer said Culmer will succeed Adrian Montague who is retiring May 31.
Culmer has been senior independent non-executive director at Aviva since January. He joined the company as a non-executive director in September 2019 and is also currently a non-executive director of FTSE 100-listed jet engine manufacturer Rolls Royce Holdings PLC.
He was previously chief financial officer of lender Lloyds Banking Group plc and insurer RSA Insurance Group PLC.
"I am honoured to be appointed Aviva's chair. I would like to thank Adrian for his service to Aviva over the last seven years and his leadership during a period of considerable change. I will work closely with Maurice and the management team to ensure Aviva continues to be there to support and deliver for all our customers, our colleagues and our shareholders," Culmer said.
Aviva shares were trading 0.2% higher at 241.90 pence each on Tuesday afternoon in London.
