Steven Beard steps down as RFIB CEO

Steven Beard has stepped down as CEO of Integro Insurance Brokers Holdings, the parent of UK-based firm Risk Transfer Group which trades under the RFIB brand.

Until the company's integration with Tysers is completed, an interim management committee comprised of Morna Leather, finance director, Chris Tansley, chairman of marine and Kevin Stratton, managing director of Specialty, will lead the day to day operation of the business reporting to the Tysers management committee.

Steven Beard said: “I have valued greatly the opportunity to lead the business through its last phase of development and have enjoyed sharing this success with a team that cares passionately about ‘doing the right thing’. Stepping down as CEO and leaving a business is never an easy decision to take, but timing is everything, and now feels right.”

Jason Collins, co-head of Tysers Broking said: “Steven exercised his position with diligence and focus and we have appreciated his partnership in the acquisition and integration planning.”
