Megan Hodgson has been appointed National Domestic Manager. Hodgson was previously with Vero and QBE Insurance and has over 30 years of experience in the insurance industry, with a strong history of building lasting relationships, focusing on driving continuous improvement and growth. She replaces Brigitte Windsor who has taken a new role within the business as Rothbury’s General Manager - National Partnerships and Facilities.

“I’m excited to lead a team knowing their commitment to their clients is paramount and to contribute to the growth of the business as it expands nationwide,” says Hodgson.

Rothbury Managing Director Roger Abel says the appointment of the two established industry leaders will further strengthen the business.
