Lumley Finance GM Corporate Development Neville Ford is leaving the Wesfarmers stable to run the broking operation of another insurer, believed to be Hollard.

“Neville has enjoyed a long and distinguished career at Lumley Finance, during which he was instrumental in growing the business and giving it a national presence, in addition to leading the Lumley Finance sales force,” Wesfarmers Insurance Premium Funding GM Jurgen Rammesmayer said.

Mr Ford will leave on October 26, with State Manager NSW and Queensland Natasha Gale taking on his responsibilities until a permanent replacement is found.
