​Ardonagh-owned broker appoints ex-Howden leader as joint managing director for A&H

Ardonagh-owned broker Price Forbes has appointed Finn Cackett as joint managing director of A&H, effective immediately.

Based in London, Cackett will be responsible for producing business, developing and executing growth strategies and designing new products.

He will report to David Merry, head of A&H, in his new role.

Cackett said: “The Price Forbes A&H team are on an excellent run of form and spending time with Merry and the team during the process made it clear why.

”There is a collegiate spirit here – people are invested in each other’s success and in building something together. I look forward to contributing to what I think will be a very exciting next chapter for the team.”

Experience

Cackett brings more than three decades of industry experience to the role.

He most recently served as co-head of A&H at Howden, where he spent 12 years. Previously he held the title division director, A&H, at WTW.

Merry said: “Cackett is exactly the kind of talent we are looking to attract as we continue to scale. He is highly regarded across the market and his specialisms are a natural fit for the direction we are taking the division.

”He shares the values that have driven our growth and his appointment reflects both the strength of our growing platform and our ambition for what the division can achieve.”
