Strategic Risk Solutions, the independent insurance company manager with an office in Bermuda, has appointed Peter Child as chief executive officer of SRS Europe.

The company said he will also retain his current role of SRS Guernsey managing director.

Mr Child, who began his new role on January 1, is assuming responsibility for continuing to grow SRS’s European presence in Luxembourg, Dublin, Malta, Switzerland, Guernsey, Sweden and the Netherlands, as well as pushing into new territories, the company said.

Brady Young, SRS group CEO and chairman of SRS Europe, said: “SRS’s growth has continued to grow globally with the most significant expansion in Europe in recent years.

“As such and given our five-year growth plan in Europe, it makes sense to appoint a strong leader in the region to work closely with our European executive team and staff to manage the next phase of our expansion.”
