Bruce Wright, captive tax and legal expert and partner at the law firm Sutherland Asbill & Brennan, was presented with an award at this year’s Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) International Conference, alongside Pleiades Insurance.
Wright accepted the 2016 CICA Distinguished Service Award, and Pleiades Insurance was recognised with the 2016 CICA Outstanding Captive Award.
Wright received the award based on his experience in the insurance tax and legal issues, and his knowledge shared at sessions during captive insurance events over the years.
“It has been interesting working with people in different industries, that all have similar dealings with governmental entities. There have been some interesting outcomes and helping organisations work through them has been fun,” Wright said.
Pleiades Insurance Company was presented with the outstanding captive award due to consistently meeting the needs of Subaru, growing its range of insurance business written and its value to shareholders.
Mary Harrington, Pleiades director and vice president, accepted the award on behalf of the company and attributed the success to the company’s capacity for thinking outside the box and commitment to Pleiades as an integral part of the wider business.
Harrington commented: “The captive is an integral part of our risk management programme and we’re always looking for new ways to use it.”
