Crawcour has over three decades of experience in the life (re)insurance market.

Prior to joining RFIB, he served as divisional director at BMS where he was responsible for the launch and development of its life reinsurance division. He began his career at CT Bowring Re.

RFIB CEO Jonathan Turnbull said RFIB’s focus is on differentiating itself by developing specialist expertise in niche areas combined with a commitment to providing a bespoke responsive service.

Turnbull said: "We will continue to diversify our offering by recruiting individuals who share this ethos and whose knowledge and market experience mark them out from their peers.

"Michael’s appointment is a clear example of this strategy in practice. His vast knowledge of the life reinsurance sector and career-long focus on client service makes him the ideal candidate to spearhead our new unit".
