THB delivers on promise to build market–leading binding authority team
THB Group, the specialist insurance and reinsurance broker, announces further senior appointments in its binding authority team, enforcing the company’s stated objective to be the market leader in the sector.
Lee Collins, partner at JLT Re, will join as director, head of binding authority placements; Adrian Steele, also partner at JLT Re, joins as director, binding authorities. They start at THB in November and will report to Mark Cody, CEO of THB Worldwide Specialty.
The announcements follow the recent appointment of Steve Ford in the role of strategic binding authority director as THB looks to accelerate its ambitious plans to build out its market-leading binding authority team which currently transacts more than US$700m of premium annually.
Cody said: “In building the binding authority platform of choice we recognise the need to invest in the finest talent across all facets of the business – placement, technical, claims and technology. In welcoming Lee and Adrian, we have added significant bench strength to our producer/broker team. THB is delivering on its promise to hand pick the finest binding authority team to take this hugely successful part of our business to the next level.”
