"These two appointments to the senior executive team in FBD position us well for the future. The continued investment in our policy administration system will be transformational to our IT enabled approach in underwriting. I am very pleased to have Enda with us for the next phase of that IT journey. In addition, it is of enormous benefit to FBD that someone of Jackie's proven capability will now undertake a similarly transformational role in the claims area. I am sure that both Enda and Jackie, with their wealth of experience, vision and energy, will contribute significantly to our success in the years ahead."
