Beach adds Marsh and Miller execs to London wholesale practice

Re/insurance broking and advisory firm Beach & Associates hired Marsh and Miller executives to expand its wholesale operation in London.

Nick Fearon joins from Miller Insurance Services, where he jointly led the US professional liability team.

Lee Bonnett, who was head of facilities placement for Marsh Specialty, will lead the delegated authority team as Beach continues to develop new products and markets for its MGA, wholesale and retail distribution client base.

These appointments follow the arrival of Jonathan Tritton from Marsh in December 2018 and Theodora Backhouse from Ed Broking in February 2019.

John Sutton, CEO of wholesale at Beach, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Nick and Lee to our growing London operations; their experience and expertise will add further depth to our capabilities and our ability to offer increased service levels and innovation to our ever-growing client base.

"We are growing rapidly and our analytically powered platform and strong reinsurance capabilities are attractive both to clients and to broking talent. Our recent hires bring skillsets and vastly different backgrounds that will help grow both the Beach Wholesale and Delegated Authority teams; areas which are of enormous importance to the group. This is an exciting time for us and I am delighted with the quality and range of experience that we continue to attract to our London based team.”
