Bridge Insurance Brokers Ltd is to establish a wholesale division that will operate across its London and Manchester offices. The broker has recruited Ryan Sturges and Max Orrin to manage the team. In addition, existing employees Tiffaney Pollard and Alexander McDonald will provide the underwriting required by wholesale broker clients.

Sturges said: “I’ll be combining my actual broking and underwriting experience with my sales training and approach, working with third party businesses to expand our broker footprint and ensuring they benefit from our close working relationships and ability to secure cover for a wide range of risks.”
