Ep 66 Nick Cook BMS: A Bullish time to build

Nick Cook of BMS Group is a man in a hurry to make the most of
global opportunities to grow the 41-year old firm he runs.


Nick is refreshingly straightforward and to the point and here we
get detail on BMS’s ambitious global buildout away from its more
traditional markets in London and North America and into Latin
America, Asia and Europe.


We also get a strong view on the opportunities being thrown up by
big broker M&A as well as the capital factors driving
substantial investment and consolidation at independents.


Nick also dissects the current fight to build challenger
reinsurance brokers and how he thinks this particular game might
not end well for everyone.


Finally we hear of bullish prospects for the London market and
Nick’s thoughts and misgivings about the current vision for
London’s future.


We pack in a lot here but listening back it is Nick’s boundless
energy and no-nonsense passion for the task in hand that really
shines through our exchange.


Enjoy the podcast.
