Tysers names managing director for Bermuda

Richard Tomkins

London-based wholesale broker Tysers, part of Integro Insurance Brokers Ltd., on Tuesday said company veteran Richard Tomkins, previously managing director of reinsurance, has been named managing director of its newly launched Bermuda operation.

Mr. Tomkins has relocated from London to head up Tysers (Bermuda) Ltd. and has been replaced as managing director of reinsurance in London by Nick Harrap, a former director within the firm’s reinsurance business, the brokerage said in a statement.

The Bermuda office will provide access to fresh insurance markets and additional capacity for clients globally and complement the firm’s specialty focus in both insurance and reinsurance, according to the statement.

Mr. Tomkins, along with Mr. Harrap, joined Integro Insurance Brokers Ltd. in 2006 to grow the firm’s reinsurance business.

Tysers was merged into Integro Insurance Brokers Ltd.’s wholesale division following its acquisition by the Integro Group in June 2018.
