Total life and pension new business sales for Royal London have quadrupled from under £3bn in 2011 to over £12bn in 2017.

Royal London also announced the departure of its Rupert Pennant-Rea at the end of 2018, having served as chairman of the board for over five years.  Rupert will be succeeded, subject to regulatory approval, on 1 January 2019 by Kevin Parry.

Parry has extensive board and chair experience and currently serves as chairman of Intermediate Capital Group and is a senior independent director of Standard Life Aberdeen and a non-executive director of Nationwide Building Society and Daily Mail & General Trust. He will stand down from the Board of Standard Life Aberdeen plc on 31 December 2018.
