Rogers has helped transform the insurer’s fortunes since taking over, as the group has gone from making a £20.1m loss in 2006 to a £195m profit in 2015.

The group will look both internally and externally for a replacement.

Rogers said: “It's been a privilege to lead LV= for a decade, alongside a great team.

“10 years is a significant milestone and it now feels the right time to let a new team shape the next decade.

“LV= will always be special for me and I look forward to seeing its members, customers and people thrive.”

Rogers is a non-executive director of the Royal Bank of Scotland, a member of the Association of British Insurers Board while he also sits on the PRA Practitioner Panel.

Mark Austen, chairman, who will be interviewing for Rogers’ replacement, said: “On behalf of my fellow board members, and I would hope our one million or more members, I would like to thank Mike Rogers for the outstanding service he has provided the Society over the last 10 years.

“Under his leadership LV= has been transformed into the successful and profitable financial mutual it is today with a special place in the financial services market.

“The process to appoint a successor is underway and Mike Rogers will continue to lead the business for the remainder of the year, and into 2017 as required, to ensure a smooth transition.”
