Perth-based EBM Insurance Brokers has appointed Stephen Rinder to the new role of GM Broking (East).

He will be based in Sydney, with responsibility for the NSW, Victoria and Queensland markets.

Executive Chairman Alan Bishop says EBM continues to broaden its national footprint and the appointment will further develop service and product offerings in the eastern states.

Mr Rinder’s last role was as managing principal at Australian Reliance in Sydney, and he has previously worked with InterRisk, OAMPS and Marsh.
