BMS, the insurance and reinsurance broker, has promoted Kian Wookey to the newly created role of managing director, Bermuda product line development.

Based in Bermuda, Mr Wookey will report to Mark Lawson, managing director, North American direct and facultative.

Mr Wookey joined BMS in 2019 and held the position of director in the property team for six years.

In his new role, Mr Wookey will retain his involvement in property while undertaking a wider remit. This will include implementing BMS’s broader strategy as it diversifies its offering in the region and develops new insurance product lines across the Bermuda platform.

Ian Gormley, UK chief executive officer, BMS, said Mr Wookey’s skills and experience will be invaluable as the firm continues to strengthen its product offerings in Bermuda.
