PIB Group appoints new chief executive for specialty arm

PIB Group has appointed Zach Gray as the new chief executive for its specialty arm, a statement released yesterday (5 October 2023) said.

Gray, who has been with the insurance intermediary for six years, will be responsible for developing PIB’s client proposition both in the UK and in partnership with colleagues across the EU team.

He succeeds Steve Redgwell, who has become the new chairman of the division as part of the move.

Gray will work with Redgwell and the rest of the specialty team to ensure targets are being met.

“Since joining us six years ago, Zach has gained invaluable experience across the business and played a key part in our success and developing the culture within our specialty division,” Redgwell said.

“I’m delighted to be passing the baton onto Zach and feel very excited for what the future will hold for the specialty division under his leadership.”

Experience

Gray has held several roles within PIB’s specialty division since joining from DE Ford in York, a firm which was acquired by the group.

This includes account director, regional managing director, managing director of specialisms and deputy chief executive.

“Having been part of the PIB journey from relatively early days, I have seen us grow and mature into the great business we are now,” Gray said.

“Throughout my time here we have acquired some great companies and added talented, knowledgeable people to strengthen our organisation and our client proposition.

“I am extremely proud to have played a part in that journey and to be working alongside Steve in leading our specialty division.

”We will continue to focus on developing our business, our capabilities and invest in our people to the benefit of our clients.”
