Bluefin appoints new MD and broking director
Bluefin has appointed Steve Hook as its new managing director for personal lines and Neil Forsyth as broking director for its London Market Broking team.
Hook will be responsible for Bluefin’s volume personal lines, having previously been in charge of Bluefin’s private client division.
Forsyth was promoted to London Market broking director after the resignation of Paul Longhurst, having been with the broker for 24 years.
Robert Organ, CEO of Bluefin, said: “I am pleased to see two long standing and well respected individuals in Steve and Neil be promoted to their new positions. I have seen the great calibre of people we have working for our business closely since being appointed CEO last year and these internal appointments justify that assertion.
“It is also a part of our business to always do things in the most efficient and streamlined way. Not only is this sensible to control our expense base but most importantly to ensure our internal structures are conducive to the needs of our clients. This was the rationale for us creating a unified Retail Broking Division last October and why we continue to make tweaks to it with this focus in mind.”
Bluefin has confirmed that it is no longer recruiting for an MD for the southern regions of its retail broking and specialisms. They will now be split between Mike Owen, commercial director, and Kenny Hogg, managing director.
