Sydney-based services provider and (re)insurance adviser Littlewoods Services has appointed former QBE executive George Thwaites as Senior Manager for its risk, compliance and finance areas.

Mr Thwaites was most recently group head of regulatory compliance at QBE. Previously he has been QBE’s head of regulatory and government affairs and group chief risk officer.

“His skillsets are critical in today’s environment and his appointment will allow Littlewoods to continue to strengthen its capabilities,” Littlewoods Director Nik Lytas said.
