Perth-based broker EBM has appointed Sharon Fox-Slater to its board of directors, effective later this week.

Ms Fox-Slater is EBM’s RentCover MD and joined the firm in 1993.

CEO Ward Dedman said she has been at the forefront of RentCover’s growth and innovation and “will be instrumental” as EBM plans the next phase of the business.

“She has worked to transform EBM RentCover from a small start-up into a national operation of more than 90 employees and 160,000 policyholders.”
