Specialist broker BMS Group has set up a new energy division in Australia after appointing three key staff members from Aon.

Richard Nunny, Ben Humphries and Serai Armstrong will join the broker in August, reporting to Sydney-based BMS Australia CEO Andrew Godden.

Mr Nunny, also in Sydney, spent a decade as Aon’s national power and energy practice leader and formerly worked at JLT in London and Australia.

Brisbane-based Mr Humphries is client manager of power, energy and renewables at Aon in Brisbane and formerly spent a decade at Willis Towers Watson in Brisbane, Melbourne and London.

Ms Armstrong has been an executive at Aon in Brisbane for three years, advising in power, energy and technology, and previously spent five years at NTI.

Mr Godden says BMS is “determined to attract the best talent to ensure we continue to build out a client offering that combines first class local service and advocacy supported by global reach and capabilities”.
