Former GAB Robins man is new commercial director

Garwyn has poached Nick Patterson from GAB Robins to fill the newly created position of commercial director.

The appointment boosts the growth plans of the specialist liability adjuster, which recently acquired ORS, a health and safety consultancy.

Patterson has more than 20 years’ experience in insurance. He was UK casualty director at GAB and has worked at Cunningham Hart.

He will head Garwyn’s sales and development team, working alongside Declan Treanor, chief executive.

Treanor said: “We have a clear strategy to develop the range of services we offer to insurers and corporates in this challenging economic climate and Nick’s experience is absolutely right to support that plan.”

Patterson starts his new job next Monday.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
