Chairman steps down after three years
Horwich Farrelly has announced that its current chairman, Mike Webb, will be leaving his role at the end of 2015. Appointed in 2012, Mike Webb has worked closely with the partners and directors of the firm to help it build its profile and develop its services for the insurance sector.
Mike says: “I have really enjoyed working with Horwich Farrelly for the last three years. The firm’s success has been built on the excellent level of service it consistently provides to its clients, which is delivered by one of the most professional and enthusiastic legal teams in the country.
“As an insurance industry specialist firm, Horwich Farrelly has successfully developed a spirit of partnership with its clients, and this close collaboration has earned it an excellent reputation within the insurance market.
“Following the integration of the new team from Parabis, announced last month, the firm now has 660 people and is set for further growth next year. The time is right for me to step aside and for Horwich Farrelly to appoint someone with a higher profile in the P&C Insurance Market to assist in it in achieving its long term growth aspirations.”
Philip O’Hagan, managing partner comments: “I would like to thank Mike for all his help and guidance over the last three years. His advice has helped us to develop the right strategy and structure for Horwich Farrelly and ensure that we have the right processes across the firm to manage our growth successfully.
“I have enjoyed working with Mike and on behalf of the partners and directors would like to wish him well for the future with his other interests.”
