Insurance group takes staff from Munich-Re owned MGA

Bspoke has gone on a hiring spree as it announced the appointments of multiple employees previously employed by Groves John Westrup Private Clients (GJW).

Staff from the Munich-Re owned managing general agent (MGA) that have been snapped up by Bspoke will join its private clients arm.

Among them is former GJW head of underwriting Stuart Bromley, who has been appointed director of high net worth (HNW) – he will report directly to Bspoke Private Clients managing director Adrian Ewington.

Bromley will be joined by ex-GJW underwriters Nick Gildea and Isaac Moore, who will both focus on writing HNW business.

Former GJW strategic relationship manager Matt Dewing, meanwhile, will lead the broker distribution strategy.

Ewington said: “Bringing Bromley and his former colleagues on board continues our growth strategy, enabling us to significantly enhance our presence in the HNW market.

”Their expertise will be instrumental in delivering superior service quality for our broker partners, and it’s fantastic to have them join us in our ambitious journey.”

Experience

Bromley has over 16 years underwriting experience, having previously held roles at NIG Commercial, Plum Underwriting, MS Amlin and Munich Re.

He became head of underwriting at GJW in 2020.

Bromley said: “Joining Bspoke Private Clients is a great opportunity to bring our expertise to a forward-thinking team that’s committed to making a significant impact in the HNW sector.

“The philosophy and ambition of Bspoke is extremely exciting and I look forward to working with the team and helping the business to achieve its long-term goals.”
