Curtis Banks Group’s communications boss has been added to the board of Suffolk Life after a ten-year stint working for the firm.

Greg Kingston has been appointed in the role of marketing & communications director.

Curtis Banks bought Suffolk Life last year.

Will Self, CEO of Suffolk Life, said: “He has a proven track record and is an invaluable part of the team, especially since the sale to Curtis Banks, working tirelessly to bring the firms closer together for the benefit of everyone.

“He has taken on a wide number of responsibilities including managing the product and marketing teams, the insight function as well as group-wide internal and external communications.”

Mr Kingston has been with Suffolk Life for nearly ten years and on the management committee for the last four.

As well as responsibility for marketing and communications for the Curtis Banks Group, he also has responsibility for Suffolk Life’s Product and Insight teams, governing the products and oversight of complaints and research.

Mr Kingston said: “It is such an exciting time for Suffolk Life as we continue to deliver improvements for our customers and align more deeply with the Curtis Banks Group.

“I look forward to my new responsibilities and working with Will and the other Board members.

“I am immensely proud of what we have achieved to date and look forward to creating a world class business, that treats customers well and provides solutions that make a real difference.”

The appointment is subject to regulatory approval.
