PSC Insurance Group has appointed Tony Robinson as MD following a decision by Paul Dwyer to step down from the role.

Mr Robinson has been a non-executive director at PSC, and has significant experience in the insurance and wealth management sectors, including leadership positions at OAMPS, IOOF, and Centrepoint Alliance. He is currently on the board of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank.

“Tony Robinson has a great understanding of the company given his past PSC board experience and will provide further strategic direction and experience in the role,” Chairman Brian Austin said today.

Mr Dwyer will remain a Director and Deputy Chairman and will continue to focus on strategic acquisitions and growth opportunities while Mr Robinson will take over the day-to-day functions.

Mr Austin said Mr Dwyer had built the business from a small inner city broking firm to a significant participant in the global insurance broking market.

“Paul believes it is the right time to step back from the day-to-day activities of managing a public company, which we support, and believe that the new arrangements will see him continue to contribute in an area of his great interest and strength, that being acquisitions and growth,” Mr Austin said.

Mr Robinson’s appointment is effective from Thursday.

Rohan Stewart remains as CEO, with all operating activities continuing to report to him.
