Steadfast executive Graham Cassidy has retired after 20 years with the broking network, ending an insurance career spanning almost five decades.

He joined Steadfast in 2006 and most recently served as head of broker network, having previously held senior roles including marketing and relationships manager and group technical manager.

Before joining Steadfast, Mr Cassidy worked with CIC and Zurich, specialising in broking, risk management and financial planning.

Steadfast says Mr Cassidy had made a “tremendous contribution” to the company and the wider insurance industry.

Earlier this year, Mr Cassidy was inducted into the Steadfast Hall of Fame, in recognition of his decades of service.
