"We are delighted Mark has now started his role at Group Chief Financial 
 Officer at Just. He is one of the top talents in the insurance market, 
 bringing with him extensive commercial and financial insight gained 
 from across the sector. We are delivering mid teen profit growth 
 and our business has never been stronger. Mark has a growth mindset 
 and is ideally placed to help us continue to deliver our profit pledge. 
 I am looking forward to working closely with him. 
 
 On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Andy Parsons for his central 
 role in building our financial strength which has allowed us to return 
 to growth in recent years and face into the future with confidence. 
 He has also delivered a major programme of finance transformation 
 including the implementation of IFRS 17."

 support the Group's growth strategy, creating value for our shareholders

 has successfully transformed its business model. I'm excited about 
 the future prospects of the business and working alongside colleagues 
 to fulfil our purpose to help people achieve a better later life."

"I'm very pleased that the business is in such great shape at the 
 point that I leave to start my retirement. Just is a purpose led 
 business with an absolute focus on its customers and I've really 
 enjoyed my time here. It's great to be handing over the baton to 
 a talented new CFO in Mark."
