LIIBA (London International Insurance Brokers Association) will expand membership representation by appointing seven new directors in 2025, a move that reflects its new articles of association adopted in March.
The changes are intended to broaden the profile of board members and ensure that perspectives from all segments of the brokerage community are represented.
David Stirling (Crispin Speers and Partners) and Hayley Littleales (Ambris) are the first two directors appointed under the new Elected Director category, which aims to democratize the process for member companies to gain board representation.
Under this category, any qualified executive can run for board membership after being nominated by five other member companies.
Tom Quy (Acrisure) and Tim Coles (Bridge Specialty International) join the Board as nominated directors. The appointments come from two of LIIBA’s 16 largest member firms and reflect the growing influence of Acrisure and Bridge Specialty International in the London market.
In addition, Peter Elson also joins the board as a new director from Gallagher, succeeding Martin Emkes. Reshma Tanna has succeeded Charles Berry as BPL Director.
LIIBA CEO Christopher Croft said: “We are delighted to welcome David, Hayley, Tom, Tim, Connie, Peter and Reshma to the Board. Their appointments mean we now have broad representation, reflecting all company types and sizes among our members. This diversity of perspectives will enhance our ability to consider issues holistically and strengthen our advocacy on behalf of all LIIBA members.”
