These appointments further support RSA's ongoing regional growth strategy for 2008, and highlight RSA's commitment to developing its business in core areas, such as Marine insurance as well as service excellence through innovative IT solutions and propositions. The new appointments will strengthen an already impressive team of people currently helping to grow RSA's business in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

Mark Cooper, CEO for KSA and Bahrain, commented on the new appointments:

'Bahrain and Saudi Arabia both represent significant growth areas for RSA in the Middle East. Strengthening our senior teams reinforces our commitment to driving performance and delivering outstanding business results, and the appointment of these talented and experienced professionals is part of our ongoing plans to develop our business even further in the region.'

Following the re-branding strategy launched in April and the continued growth in 2008, RSA has shown commitment to building a strong regional team for its emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East, and thus strengthening its position as the preferred insurer among both individual and commercial customers. RSA Middle East recently announced its first half results for 2008, reporting profitable growth of 45% compared to last year.
