Captive insurance expert joins Robus board

Experienced insurance professional Ben Dunning has been appointed a director at Robus Risk Services (Guernsey) Limited.

He is both director of finance and “client lead” on a number of client-managed entities at the independent captive insurance management, fiduciary and financial advisory business.

A qualified accountant, Mr Dunning began his insurance career at Aon in the late 1990s.  He rose to the senior management team before joining the Board of the then Robus Group ILS subsidiary Hexagon PCC at the beginning of 2015.

At Robus his client-facing role is to manage and administer insurance and other corporate entities, with Brexit forming a particular focus for the firm’s clients with dual locations in Gibraltar and Guernsey.

“Dealing with a variety of corporate clients every day is different and there are always new challenges which keep my job interesting,” he said.

“As Robus is a small, independent, niche business focused on solutions, innovation and quality of service it is possible to spend more time on clients, rather than having the burden of internal administration that is more commonly a feature of larger organisations.”

Richard Le Tocq, CEO of Robus Group, said: “Ben is highly experienced in Guernsey’s captive insurance sector and I’m very pleased to have his expertise on the Robus board.”
