During my career of 50 years in the insurance broking industry, I have successfully produced, placed and managed a worldwide portfolio of business across all lines of marine insurance. I travel throughout the world and first became a shareholder in a new business in 1989 as the MD and held that position within associated companies until forming and becoming Chairman of Edge Group in 2013.I became a trustee of Aspire in 2007 and Chairman of the trustee board in 2010.
