’I’m very fortunate to work with a team of dedicated professionals to drive business growth and enhance the value we offer to brokers and clients,’ says appointee

Australian insurance broker Aub Group has announced that Bob Pybus and Tom Wilson will be taking up new chief executive roles.

Pybus will become top boss for UK retail, while Wilson has been named as the new leader at Tysers, Aub Group’s Lloyd’s wholesale broker.

The appointments are effective from 1 October 2024.

From this date, Mike Emmett, chief executive and managing director at Aub Group, will cease to act as the interim boss at Tysers.

He took up the role in August 2023, when Clive Buesnel announced that he was stepping down.

Emmett said: “Wilson and Pybus have played significant roles in Tysers’ success story and are uniquely placed to steer the Tysers and UK retail businesses through their next stages of growth.

“They have deep market knowledge, a commitment to superior client service and are proven, strategic leaders.”

Experience

Pybus, who was most recently head of Tysers Retail, has 40 years of industry experience and specialises in developing and managing risks for clients across the retail sector.

In his new role, he will oversee the expansion of operations in the UK retail broking market.

Pybus said: “It’s a great privilege to have been appointed chief executive at Aub UK Retail and shape what is sure to be an exciting future.

“I’m very fortunate to work with a team of dedicated professionals to drive business growth and enhance the value we offer to brokers and clients.”

Meanwhile, Wilson, who was most recently head of Tysers Marine and Aviation, has spent most his career in senior management and strategic roles.

In his new role, he will work with his senior management team to drive growth in London and internationally.

Wilson said: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead Tysers and, with the support of an exceptionally talented senior management team, seize opportunities for growth and meet the increasing demand for specialist insurance expertise and technical skills in the London and international markets.”
