RFIB LAUNCHES AMERICAS OPERATION IN REINSURANCE DRIVE
International Lloyd's re/insurance broker RFIB Group has launched RFIB Americas to develop the group's specialist products in the US, Bermuda and Canada. The unit will oversee the development of the group's existing subsidiaries RFIB (Bermuda) and US-based Gracechurch Intermediaries. This is the first major new initiative since it recapitalised with its new partner, Calera Capital, last year. RFIB Americas will be led by Nick Foden-Pattinson as chief executive with Jeremy Brasier as managing director of Bermuda and Simon Hudson as managing director of reinsurance at Gracechurch. Foden-Pattinson has been at RFIB for eight years, while Brasier has been at RFIB Bermuda for six years.
