Ryan Gill appointed Bspoke Group CEO
Bspoke Group has named Ryan Gill as CEO, marking the first major leadership change since its recent acquisition by NFP , an Aon company. Gill, formerly Chief Commercial Officer, succeeds Tim Smyth, who becomes Deputy Chair to focus on strategy and long-term opportunities under NFP ownership.
Alongside Gill’s appointment, Bspoke has created a Retail Division that brings together Police Mutual, Forces Mutual, Bspoke Lifestyle, Bspoke Private Clients, and insurtech Arma Karma. Kerry McMahon-White will lead the unit as Retail Managing Director, while retaining her role as MD of Police Mutual.
Additional leadership changes include Andy Talbot, joining from Gallagher as Retail Operations Director; Adrian Ewington, becoming Retail Underwriting Director; and Stuart Bromley, stepping into the role of MD of Bspoke Private Clients. The restructured leadership team is tasked with sharpening Bspoke’s focus and strengthening its position as a niche and specialist MGA in the UK market.
“This is a natural progression for the business and an exciting step as we enter a new chapter. Bspoke has experienced substantial growth in recent years, and I’m delighted that Ryan has agreed to take the helm. His leadership and vision will be instrumental as we move forward. I will continue to play an active role in the business, and my focus will be on maintaining clear direction, supporting leadership teams, and keeping momentum as we move through this important period of transition.” – Tim Smyth, Deputy Chair, Bspoke Group.
“I’m incredibly excited to take on the leadership of Bspoke Group at such a pivotal time. Thanks to Tim’s leadership, we have a strong foundation and an exceptional team. With the support of our new shareholders, the strength of our people, and the strategic platform already in place, we are well positioned to realise our ambition to become the leading niche and specialist MGA in the UK insurance market. I would like to thank our customers, capacity partners and trading partners for their continued support and look forward to working with them on the next stage of our journey.” – Ryan Gill, CEO, Bspoke Group.
“This is an exciting development for all of us at Bspoke. Our ambition is to build a business that is agile, expert, and fully aligned with the needs of both our customers and our people. I’m very proud of the progress we’ve made and confident that this new structure will kick-start the next stage of our journey.” – Kerry McMahon-White, Retail Managing Director, Bspoke Group, and Managing Director, Police Mutual.
