Lloyd’s broker RFIB Group broking director Stephen Hirst is retiring from the company.

A spokesman confirmed that Hirst had resigned his position on the board ahead of his retirement at the end of this month.

Hirst joined RFIB in August 2005 as a board director and managing director of the Marine Division.

He started his career with Price Forbes which ultimately became part of Sedgwick, where he was chairman of Sedgwick Energy and Marine and a director of a number of other companies in that group, such as Sedgwick Europe and Sedgwick Far East.

Following Sedgwick’s acquisition by Marsh and McClennan in 1998, Stephen joined Willis as deputy chairman of its marine operations.

His career has also included a number of roles within the London market, which include deputy chairman of LIBC (LIIBA), membership of the General Committee of Lloyd’s Register and other market committees.
