The London-based BMS reinsurance brokerage announced today that it has hired away a nine-member property-casualty brokerage team from Cooper Gay Intermediaries to conduct operations from a base in Minneapolis.
The firm said the unit will complement BMS's existing activities in London and North America, and will be led by senior brokers Jim Brost and Mike Joyce, who will both hold the title of executive vice president.
“The acquisition of this team boosts our rapidly growing presence in North America, and will give us a further strong base in Minneapolis–a major reinsurance hub,” said Hugo Crawley, chairman of BMS Intermediaries.
