Alan Lewis, ex-rugby player, who when his rugby career was cut short at an early stage with injury, turned to refereeing with notable success, and has now refereed at international level, at the 2003 and 2007 Rugby World Cups.
But he is even better known as the third most capped player in the history of Irish Cricket playing 121 times for his country between 1984 and 1997. He is one of only six players to have played more than 100 times for Ireland.
Away from the sports field, although he got a college grade leaving cert, he had no appetite for university but did have a genuine interest in following his father’s footsteps into the insurance industry. He started with Hibernian insurance but within three years the sporting wanderlust took over and he headed off to Australia.
An injury brought him home and eventually to LHW, a company co-founded by his father. He focused on the life side of the business and took over the company when father and other business partner retired, at a time when the industry was undergoing huge consolidation. Today, Alan is responsible for the strategic development of LHW.
