ISLAND Financial Solutions (IFS) has appointed Bryan O’Connor to head up a specialist new General Insurance Division.
In his role as insurance manager, Mr O’Connor will be looking to develop bespoke programmes for companies and organisations across the Isle of Man that are dependent upon all types of commercial insurance, such as public liability and professional indemnity.
Bringing considerable commercial insurance expertise with him, Bryan O’Connor will focus on fostering new and existing business links with commercial property owners, trust companies and corporate service providers, especially with interests in the marine and aviation fields.
