The moves come ahead of Ardonagh Advisory rebranding to Everywhen
Ardonagh Advisory chief commercial officer Phil Bayles has been appointed as the interim managing director at Bravo Networks.
The move comes due to Scott Bennett, who has led Bravo Networks since 2021, moving to a new role within Ardonagh Advisory’s general insurance business as it prepares to transition to the Everywhen brand.
Phase one will see the platform name rebrand this year. It is expected that most trading brands will then start to change into 2026.
Bennett said: “I’ve enjoyed my time at Bravo Networks, leading what I believe is the best team in the broker network market.
”I’m proud to be leaving the network in the strong position it’s in and I am looking forward to starting my new role.”
Bayles will carry out his new duties alongside his current role. He praised Bennett’s leadership at Bravo Networks, with him adding: “Bravo is the leading broker network in the UK by scale – but more importantly, by reputation with our valued members and insurer partners.
“Bennett deserves great credit for his role in that achievement.”
Bravo Networks growth
Under Bennett’s leadership, Bravo Networks launched its Bravo Accelerator, a suite of data, trading and service-driven tools that aimed to facilitate better connectivity between regional broker network members and Ardonagh Advisory’s insurance partners.

It incorporates Bravo Insights, an appetite-matching tool that utilises brokers’ existing data and allows them to have a conscious placement strategy that delivers better client outcomes.
Also included is Bravo Digital Trader, a new platform to facilitate eTrade between insurers and independent brokers to drive efficiencies, Bravo Navigator, to place more complex risks that fall outside of eTrade, and Bravo Specialisms, which connects regional brokers with specialty markets.
Bayles said: “Our immediate focus will be on building on the momentum from our recent national conference in Liverpool and continuing to provide enhanced services and trading opportunities for our members.”
