MAC Group, the Island’s largest employee benefits firm, is pleased to announce the appointment of three Associate Directors; Rebecca Netten and Ed Walter for MAC Financial, as well as Peter O’Donnell for MAC Commercial. These appointments reflect the continuing growth of the group and the successful integration of the recent “Island Financial Solutions” client acquisition.
Jon McGowan, Group CEO commented “Peter, Rebecca and Ed are incredibly passionate about achieving the best possible client experience and outcome. Ensuring that our Insurance and pension providers, together with the MAC team, deliver the highest standards of service.”
Peter O’Donnell has over 20 years extensive experience in the General Insurance industry, working in a variety of senior positions for global Insurers. Peter has been at MAC working in the Commercial arm of the Company since 2013.
