Broker firm BMS has opened a new offshoot in New Zealand.
The new entity is to be known as BMS Risk Solutions and will be an independent extension of the BMS Group. It will be run by Storm McVay, Paul Meehan, and David Gibbons from offices in Dunedin and Christchurch. A third office is expected to open in Auckland later this year.
Nick Cook, group CEO of BMS, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with such highly experienced and well-regarded industry leaders in Storm McVay, Paul Meehan and David Gibbons. BMS has had a close working relationship with them and their clients for many years so this is a natural progression as we look to broaden our global footprint.”
According to BMS, the new firm has been established with a team of highly experienced local specialists and leaders from across the risk advisory industry including Wayne Henderson, AON; Brett Gerrard, Gallagher; Sue Hale, Black Peak Risk; Josh Thomson, WTW; and Dominic Sheehan, Marsh.
Several other appointments have also been made, with the BMSRS team set to expand significantly by the end of the year.
