Four MDs appointed to broker’s property and commercial division

Barbon Insurance Group has overhauled its top management, creating four managing directors for the four businesses within its property and commercial division.

Three existing heads of business have been promoted to the new positions, while Tim Wilson has joined the business from AXA, where he was strategic relationship manager, to take up the fourth.

Penny Jepson from Barbon’s constituent business Deacon (pictured), Joe Murphy from FARR and Wayne Tonge from Keelan Westall have been promoted.

Wilson, who worked for Close Premium Finance before AXA, said: “I have known several of Barbon’s senior management team for many years and they are people I respect and know I can work with. Plus Cadogan Keelan Westall has a first class, niche offering to the property market and a hugely knowledgeable and loyal team of people.”

As well as Keelan Westall (wholesale residential & commercial property insurance), Deacon (blocks of flats insurance), Cadogan Keelan Westall (commercial property insurance) and FARR (social housing insurance), Barbon’s brands are Rentshield, HomeLet, Letsure, Zennor and BIBALet.
