Worldwide Facilities appoints president, MGA Division

Worldwide Facilities, a US wholesale insurance broker, managing general agent and program underwriter, has promoted Gary Kitchen to president, MGA Division.

"The nature of the MGA business, specifically the underwriting of risk on behalf of insurance companies, lends itself to a regional strategy," said Ron Austin, President of Worldwide Facilities. "As we continue to grow our geographic footprint by acquisition, it has become apparent that national leadership and coordination is the appropriate next step. Gary joined us as part of the RIC acquisition in 2018 and has continued to demonstrate management, leadership, team building and strategy building skills. We look forward to the continued growth of our MGA platform with Gary and the entire MGA team."

Gary Kitchen added: "I look forward to this next chapter with Worldwide Facilities and the entire MGA team. Worldwide Facilities is already a leader in the wholesale market, and I am excited to grow the MGA division and its capabilities."
