Specialist (re)insurance broker BMS announced the appointments of Norman Wiltshire and Nick Titcomb as directors of Strategic Risk Solutions (SRS), BMS’ specialty division.

Wiltshire and Titcomb will join BMS upon completion of current contractual obligations in July and October, reporting to Hannah Watkins, managing director of BMS SRS.

Wiltshire will work closely with Watkins in the build out of BMS’ London market Reinsurance offering. Having retired from AON he brings 50 years’ experience and a wealth of knowledge and insight to the role.

Starting his career at a Lloyd’s syndicate, with time at both CE Heath and CT Bowring, Wiltshire played a key role in the development of the Benfield Non-Marine London Market team.

Meanwhile, Titcomb will take up a dual role, responsible for developing both US and London market marine reinsurance. He will also work with the US based production team.

Titcomb brings over four decades of experience in the (re)insurance market, specialising in US marine insurance. Prior to joining BMS, he was senior vice president at March since 2017, where he focused on the US and London reinsurance markets as well as fixed price P&I facilities.

Watkins said: “We continue to hire like-minded individuals that share our belief that personalised service and advice is key for our client base. This forms part of our specialty reinsurance and retro strategies alongside our continued overall investment in the US and London. Nick’s expertise complements an already successful Marine Reinsurance Team and Norman’s experience is second to none. We very much look forward to welcoming both Norman and Nick to the team later this year.”
