Commenting on is departure, Mr Back said: “I’ve been incredibly grateful for my time at ALIC and being able to build an industry-leading business that focuses on putting the client first, working with dynamic business partners and providing the opportunity for our staff to grow their careers from admin support through to brokers.”
