BMS Australia has recruited Gallagher executives Stuart Davies and Samantha Ford as a director and corporate broker respectively.

They will report to Andrew Godden, their former boss who in May was appointed CEO of the specialist insurance broker.

Mr Davies, previously Gallagher’s NSW manager, will specialise in corporate risks including directors’ and officers’ cover, and will also advise on placements in cyber, litigation, indemnity and other emerging risks.

He has 25 years’ experience in the UK and locally, and has held senior roles at Aon and JLT.

Ms Ford joined Gallagher in 2008 and was most recently its account manager for professional and financial risks, according to her LinkedIn profile.

“[They] are fantastic additions to the team and will form part of our continuing strategic build-out in the region,” Mr Godden said.
