BORDER LINES: Roth to head comms at Zurich FS

ZURICH: Zurich Financial Services, formerly Allied Zurich in the UK, has appointed Iris Roth global head of corporate communications. The annoucement comes after ZFS closed the London holding group to merge it with its Swiss arm, which saw the resignation of UK corporate affairs director Brian Hutchinson, after 16 years with the firm. Roth was previously corporate communications head for Allied Zurich, Switzerland.
