EC3 Brokers has added Colin Bird to work alongside senior management in a role that will see him focus on the growth of the company.
Bird joined on May 1 and will also oversee the newly created specialty casualty and cyber team.
He has over 30 years’ experience in the industry and between 1995 and 2015 served as chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Besso Insurance.
Bird retained his chairmanship until the business was sold to BGC in 2017, at which point Bird became a non-executive director.
Most recently, he was a non-executive chairman at Prospect Insurance Brokers.
“I look forward to working alongside quality people to grow the specialty team and the business as a whole,” Bird said.
“I have a longstanding relationship with BP Marsh, as does EC3 Brokers, so that was an attractive opportunity for me. It’s encouraging to work with such good people under great leadership.”
Danny Driscoll, CEO, added, “We’re excited to have Colin on board. He is extremely talented and business minded.
“He has a proven long and successful history of growing businesses, so we look forward to working with him as we grow EC3 Brokers and strengthen our relationships with clients.”
