Chairman Andrew Jensen commented on Mr Lucas’ appointment.
“Geoff’s appointment as Managing Director and CEO comes at a time when we are focussed on rapidly increasing our business on the East Coast, having successfully established The Agency Group in Western Australia, where we have a market share of approximately five per cent,” Mr Jensen said.

“We are immensely grateful to Paul for the vision he had to create The Agency Group and the integral role he played in building the Company into such a successful national company,” he said.
