MS Amlin chief financial officer (CFO) John Worth will be stepping down from his role to join Hastings Group plc.

He will remain in the role of CFO for the time being. The company stated that a search to find his successor has already begun.

Worth is expected to join the board of Hastings in the next few months. He is succeeding Richard Hoskins, who is retiring from his position as group CFO.

Worth joined MS Amlin in November 2017. Before that, he worked with Co-operative Bank and Hiscox.

Simon Beale, CEO commented: "Since John joined the organisation, he has successfully led the Acturial, Business Management information and Finance teams through a challenging period. We would like to thank John for his contribution to the business and wish him all the best for the future when he leaves later this year."
