Today’s guest is Clive Buesnel CEO of Tysers.
Tysers is one of the oldest broking brands at Lloyd’s, with a history going back 200 years.
But the Tysers of today is the product of a lot of recent M&A activity involving the UK arm of Integro and London Wholesaler RFIB, all of which has agreed to be acquired by Australasian broking group AUB.
Clive’s background is not as a broker, but as a financial services professional who has spent a career serving the insurance market.
He is disarmingly open about this and immediately describes his role as one of an enabler who allows his brokers to be brilliant.
And in a market where investment in technology and multi-skilled teams finding new ways of doing business are key to unlocking value, everything that Clive says makes enormous sense.
As management and broking are recognised as two separate skills and as brokers become much larger and far more complex entities, far fewer of the brokers of the future are likely to be run by career brokers.
But business acumen and technical ability aside, it is Clive’s energy that comes across in this podcast.
Tysers is a firm that has been through a lot, but with integration complete and an ambitious new owner behind the group, the overriding impression is of an energised business excited to get to grips with new insurance problems.
Clive is concise and direct and that means we cover a large number of topics and detail in a relatively short time. After a listen you should get a really clear idea of how Tysers will develop as a broker in the coming years.
See if you find his enthusiasm as infectious as I did.
NOTES
The AUB takeover of Tysers is pending regulatory approval.
iMRC does indeed stand for the Intelligent Market Reform Contract, that is to say the latest digital iteration of the London Market placing Slip.
