BMS Group has appointed Richard Dudley as group chief broking officer, effective from December 2024.
Based in London, Dudley will report to Nick Cook, BMS Group CEO, and will support the continued build-out of the London and Bermuda reinsurance platforms, leveraging his extensive network across both markets.
The firm says his expertise in managing large, integrated specialty businesses in London will be invaluable in executing the ambitious growth plans for its London specialty business.
Dudley joins BMS with over 30 years of industry experience, having most recently held the position of global head of climate strategy at Aon. He currently serves on Lloyd's Council and was previously chair of the London and International Insurance Brokers' Association.
Commenting on the new hire, Cook highlights: “[Richard’s] vast expertise in both specialty and reinsurance, along with his relationships and history of working with colleagues, insurers, regulators, and clients across the globe, will be instrumental as BMS expands its international footprint.”
Dudley adds: "As BMS continues its fast-paced development, I am eager to help the teams identify exciting new opportunities and solidify the group’s market position.”
