Ed appoints chairman for Bermuda

Ed, the global reinsurance, wholesale and specialty broker, has appointed John Turner as chairman of Ed Bermuda, a newly created role.

He reports to Chris Bonard, CEO of Ed Bermuda, providing hands-on support to realise the potential of the recently formed operation.

Turner joins from Aon, where he was most recently chairman of commercial risk solutions UK and Americas. He has more than 40 years’ experience in the re/insurance market, 30 of which have been in Lloyd’s broking, leading teams covering property, casualty, terrorism, power, energy and construction.

Bonard welcomed Turner’s “weight of experience, as well as long-standing relationships with clients and the market.”

Turner pledged to help Ed build a cross-class team of highly motivated professionals. “Ed Bermuda is creating meaningful new capacity as the leading wholesale broker on the island, supported by world class technology. It’s an exciting venture to be part of,” he added.
