“I have known and respected Andrew for many years. I am delighted that he has chosen to take this role,” Mr Rice said.

“At a time of industry turmoil and rapid change, Rice Warner will be well positioned to continue to support our clients with Andrew at the helm.”

Mr Boal commented: “I respect and appreciate Michael’s contribution to our industry over the last 30 years and admire the successful business he has built.
