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.
