Lars Rhodin has been appointed Deputy Managing Director of The Swedish Club. His appointment takes effect on September 1. Lars Rhodin, previously Director, Claims & Legal Support, will work alongside Managing Director Frans Malmros in implementing a new structure for the Club centred around five teams – three based in Gothenburg and the others in Piraeus and Hong Kong. The new organisation, headed by an Insurance Division, will be introduced from October 1.
The Piraeus and Hong Kong teams will continue to be headed by Clas Rydén and Tord Nilsson respectively. The Leaders of the three Gothenburg teams have yet to be appointed. The Gothenburg teams will be organised on the broad basis of geographic zones of membership.
Each of the new teams will take direct responsibility for underwriting, membership contact, risk assessment and financial outcome.
