BMS bolsters energy division with JLT, Price Forbes hires

Broker BMS Group has hired four new executives from JLT and Price Forbes to expand its energy division.

Lynsey Green joins from JLT, where she focused on North American energy clients. Green began her career in the energy division of Aon before moving to the energy casualty team at Agnew Higgins Pickering and Company in 1999 and then to Lloyd and Partners (part of the JLT Group) in 2010.

Kevin Page has over 30 years’ industry experience working for Sedgwick, Marsh and Price Forbes. For the past 10 years, he has focused on the power and nuclear sectors for both US and multi-national clients, providing technical insurance coverage analysis, policy wording development and client management at Price Forbes.

Robin Gibbs began his career at JLT in the natural resources team, before joining the power and downstream energy team at Price Forbes in 2014.

Finally, Darren Jones comes from Price Forbes, where he was part of the power, nuclear and construction unit since 2010. Jones began his career with Marsh’s marine & energy division in 1990. In 2002, he became a part of Agnew Higgins Pickering (later JLT), where, among others, he was focussed on UK and US Energy accounts and establishing a casualty offering for the energy sector.

All the executives will report to James Chicken, managing director of energy, and will join later this year.

Ian Gormley, director of BMS Group, said: “Sustaining exceptional client focused services is at the heart of our culture, and, as we grow, we continue to attract the industry’s leading talent to our entrepreneurial team.

"Lynsey, Kevin, Darren and Robin are well respected in their fields and their breadth of expertise compliments the knowledge within our growing energy division. We are a significant step closer to achieving our ambition of building the London market’s leading Energy team.”
