The British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) has appointed Brendan McManus as Deputy Chairman of the trade association with immediate effect.
Brendan has been a member of the BIBA board for three years, and becomes Deputy Chairman following a nomination process and a unanimous decision by the Board.
At BIBA’s AGM Kevin Hancock from Yutree Insurance was appointed to the Board, as Chairman of BIBA’s General Insurance Brokers’ Committee. Lorraine Dillett from Aon Ltd and Ian Dickinson from Brunsdon LLP stepped down following the completion of their term in office.
Brendan McManus said: “I am delighted to be selected for such an important role. I’m keen to continue contributing to the broking sector especially during a time when there is so much change affecting brokers.”
Andy Homer added: “I am delighted that Brendan has agreed to take on the role as Deputy Chairman. This provides welcome continuity for the Board and the BIBA executive as we develop our long term strategy to enhance the representation and service our ever changing membership is demanding.”
Brendan recently joined Giles Insurance Brokers Ltd as Chief Executive, prior to this he was Willis UK CEO and Managing Director at Royal SunAlliance.
The announcement follows Andy Homer’s appointment as BIBA Chairman in January 2012 and the addition of four ex-Institute of Insurance Brokers’ (IIB) Directors to the Board as part of the merger.
