’These changes reflect the scale of our ambition and our commitment to building a leadership structure that supports consistent growth, accountability and focus,’ says chief executive
Jensten Group has announced a restructure and changes to its executive leadership team as part of its long-term growth strategy.
The move will see the group reshape its business into two trading divisions – broking, as well as product and distribution.
The new product and distribution division will include Jensten Group’s schemes and affinity businesses and MGA Jensten Underwriting.
These combined businesses will be led by a soon to be appointed chief executive for product and distribution.
Meanwhile, the broking division will include regional broking, specialist lines and London markets, as well as The Jensten Network.
This will be led by Gareth Birch, who takes up the new role of chief executive for broking on 1 May 2026.
Experience
Birch brings more than 20 years’ experience in the insurance broking sector, having most recently served as managing director for SME and personal lines at Gallagher.
