The OneFamily Group has announced the appointment of Phil Willcock as a non-executive director (NED).

He will join the board on 1 January, 2025.

An experienced CEO in businesses across the UK, Europe and Asia, Willcock (pictured) was most recently the CEO of AIG Life Ltd in the UK, where he led the sale of the business to Aviva Plc.

He joins OneFamily at a key time for growth, as it recently announced its plans to expand its Beagle Street insurance brand into the intermediary space and is working on a soon to be completed modernisation programme.

“I am delighted to be joining such a purpose-driven and customer-focused mutual, particularly ahead of its launch into the intermediary market”

Jim Islam, OneFamily’s CEO, said: “I look forward to working with Phil and on behalf of myself and the rest of the team I’d like to warmly welcome him to the OneFamily Group.

“This is an exciting period for the organisation, as we continue to make huge strides within the life insurance sector with our Beagle Street brand, and Phil’s knowledge and experience will be invaluable.”

Willcock added: “I am delighted to be joining such a purpose-driven and customer-focused mutual, particularly ahead of its launch into the intermediary market.

“I look forward to working with Jim and the team at this time of growth.”
