Scottish broker hires energy expert

Scottish broker Bruce Stevenson Risk Management (BSRM) has hired Gary Bratt, an engineer in renewable energy technology.

The company said Bratt’s appointment will enhance the services it provides to the renewable energy market.

“I am able to add another dimension of understanding of renewable projects and their associated risks from an engineering perspective,” Bratt said in a statement. “This allows Bruce Stevenson to make a more rounded and informed evaluation of insurance requirements.”

Derek Skinner, renewable energy director at BSRM, added: “It is vital that we understand the technologies being introduced to the UK renewables sector to make these insurable and bankable. Our role is to understand the risks associated with developing renewable projects and finding insurance solutions.”
