Des Benjamin

Chief Executive

I have spent most of my working life in financial services, moving at various times from accountancy and fund management, to selling life insurance and pensions. Before joining the Group as Chief Executive, I was General Manager of the UK’s largest creditor insurer, Consolidated Financial Insurance (now GE Financial Insurance). My prevailing theme is ‘customer first’ because I simply believe that this approach is the future of long-term business sustainability. It also makes business fun.
