RSA Insurance Group plc announces that Bridget McIntyre is stepping down as UK
CEO. Subject to regulatory approval, Bridget McIntyre will be succeeded by
Adrian Brown, who is currently RSA UK's Chief Operating Officer.

Bridget has been with the Group for almost 3 years and has made a significant
contribution to the UK business. Bridget wants to spend more time with her
family in Suffolk and she and the Group Board agreed that it is the right time
for new leadership to take the business forward.

Bridget will commence handover of her UK CEO responsibilities straight away but
will remain on the Group Board until the end of the year to ensure a smooth
transition.

Adrian Brown has been the UK Chief Operating Officer since 2006. He was
previously responsible for establishing the UK's direct business, MORE TH>N,
which he ran for two years before becoming the UK Director for Personal Lines in
2003.

Andy Haste, RSA Group CEO, commented, "I would like to thank Bridget for the
dedication she's brought to advancing the UK business. She's developed a strong
leadership team and I'm pleased to announce Adrian as her successor. He has an
excellent track record with success in a number of key leadership roles. I'm
confident that, with his combination of a deep understanding of the business and
record of delivery, Adrian will continue to drive the UK business forward."
