Beach continues to expand its wholesale capabilities in London
Beach & Associates (“Beach” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce two hires to its wholesale operation in London. Nick Fearon and Lee Bonnet have joined from Miller Insurance Services and Marsh respectively to help grow the Beach Wholesale and Delegated Authority teams. These appointments follow the arrival of Jonathan Tritton from Marsh in December 2018 and Theodora Backhouse from Ed Broking in February 2019.
Fearon, who jointly led the US Professional Liability team at Miller, will add significant experience to the wholesale team and will bring further expertise in the financial and professional lines space.
Bonnet, who was head of Facilities Placement for Marsh Specialty, will lead the Delegated Authority team as Beach continues to develop new products and markets for its expanding MGA, wholesale and retail distribution client base.
John Sutton, CEO of Wholesale at Beach, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Nick and Lee to our growing London operations; their experience and expertise will add further depth to our capabilities and our ability to offer increased service levels and innovation to our ever-growing client base. We are growing rapidly and our analytically powered platform and strong reinsurance capabilities are attractive both to clients and to broking talent. Our recent hires bring skillsets and vastly different backgrounds that will help grow both the Beach Wholesale and Delegated Authority teams; areas which are of enormous importance to the group. This is an exciting time for us and I am delighted with the quality and range of experience that we continue to attract to our London based team.”
