BMS Group, the independent specialist insurance and reinsurance broker, today announces that it has completed the acquisition of QLD-based Corporate and Commercial Insurance Brokers.
Corporate and Commercial Insurance Brokers was founded in 2006 providing risk management advice and insurance broking services to large, privately owned organisations. Jeremy Murfin, founder and director of Corporate and Commercial Insurance Brokers, will become Client Director for BMS Australia reporting into Stephen Moore, managing director, BMS Risk Solutions QLD based in Brisbane. Mr. Murfin will also join the Australian Executive Leadership Team.
This acquisition will add to BMS Group’s recent international M&A activity, after it completed the acquisition of Spanish broker Rasher and its Latin American subsidiaries earlier this year, and acquired UAE broker Berms Brett Masaood (now BMS Masaood) in 2024.
Andrew Godden, CEO BMS Australia said: “Jeremy has been a partner of BMS for over 20 years, so we are delighted he has now agreed to join forces with us. With his depth of experience in the specialist property space and his exceptional risk management and advisory skills, he has built an exceptional business over the last two decades with clients up and down the east coast of Australia. He will now become a valuable member of the BMS team and we look forward to working with him to continue developing specialty solutions for our clients.”
Jeremy Murfin added: “We have built a business on being able to engage closely with and think and respond dynamically to our clients. We needed to find a business that could deliver the same services to our clients, whilst also providing additional resources to cater for growth and specialisation in diversity. The alignment with the culture, structure and resources within BMS and the decision to join them continuing and enhancing the client service delivery will deliver a better offering to clients moving forward.
“In joining the BMS team, I am also looking forward to sharing my business experience with BMS colleagues and the broader client base, and with the unwavering support of Andrew and Stephen, I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”
