 David Barral has been appointed CEO, UK Life. He will report to Aviva's UK CEO, Mark Hodges, and will also join the UK Board and UK Executive team. David was previously chief operating officer, UK Life. He joined the Group in 1999 and has 30 years financial services experience covering business development, distribution, marketing, customer service and operations.

 David replaces Toby Strauss who is leaving Aviva to take up a new role with Lloyds Banking Group. Toby has been with the Group for three years.

 David's previous responsibilities have been split between two new appointments to the UK Life Executive team. Phil Willcock, currently managing director, UK Health, will become propositions director, in addition to his UK Health responsibilities. Hugh Hessing will broaden his customer service responsibilities becoming customer experience director.

 Mark Hodges said: "I'm delighted to welcome David to my UK Executive team. David has extensive financial services experience, a track record in business transformation and a great passion for delivering the best for our customers.

 "We're also pleased to appoint Phil and Hugh to the Life Executive team. These appointments demonstrate the bench strength we have in Aviva and their energy and focus will make a significant contribution.

 "Toby has led a strong team in the UK Life business, making a valuable contribution to Aviva, and we wish him well for the future. The UK Life business is in great shape with a clear strategy, which the new team will continue to drive forward."
