Mike Slack's seven years on the board comes to an end

The British Insurance Brokers’ Association (Biba) has announced that Mike Slack has decided to retire and step down from the Biba board.

Slack, former chairman of the Fyfe Group, stepped down at the end of July following seven years on BIBA’s board.

Slack said: “After seven years on BIBA’s board it is time to step down. I have enjoyed my position on the board and have enjoyed watching BIBA grow in strength since I first joined. I am confident that I leave with BIBA fully representing all of its members’ interests.”

Eric Galbraith, Biba chief executive, added: “Mike has been very influential and supportive and his considerable input and dedication will be missed. We are grateful for everything he has done for the Association and wish him well for the future.”

Biba recently announced that Aon chief executive Robert Brown has joined the board and that Patrick Smith, chairman of Swinton, will succeed Derek Thornton as chairman.
