Laing resigns
High profile IFMA executive Sue Laing has resigned after more than a decade developing the life insurance broking and financial planning group.
Laing's departure from IFMA follows the acquisition of the group by Professional Investment Services (PIS) earlier this year from Norwich.
She says she made the decision to leave after the completion of a three year contract with IFMA which began when the group she managed, Life Support, was acquired by IFMA in 1997.
Laing says she will take "a long-overdue break for a few months before tackling a new challenge in the new year". She emphasises that her resignation is not the result of any acrimony between herself and PIS but that it is simply "time for a new challenge".
Before taking on her current role as national manager of insurance at PIS, Laing managed the NSW division of IFMA after it purchased Life Support in 1997.
The NSW operation will now be headed up by Michael Eddy.
