The British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) has announced a leadership transition within its Large Brokers’ Advisory Board (LBAB), with Carl Evans stepping down from his role as chair.
Evans, who also served on BIBA’s main board, is chair of professional risks at Griffiths & Armour. He has now vacated both positions, concluding a five-year tenure that included steering the board through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. BIBA CEO Graeme Trudgill thanked Evans for his significant contributions and confirmed that he will continue to support the association in a non-board capacity.
Succeeding Evans is Alistair Fraser, who will take on the roles of LBAB chair and BIBA board member. Fraser was appointed international corporate and commercial leader at Marsh in January, a position in which he oversees the firm’s strategy for small and mid-sized businesses across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
In a further leadership shift, Phil Williams will step into the role of deputy chair of LBAB, previously held by Fraser. Williams, who was promoted in late 2024 to group chief commercial officer and managing director of retail at Clear Group, brings extensive industry experience to the advisory board.
BIBA’s current board comprises three directors, a non-executive chair, a non-executive director, and eight advisory board leads, all working together to guide the association’s strategic direction.
Earlier this year, the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) unveiled its annual manifesto, setting out the organisation’s key priorities for the year ahead. Among the central themes are calls for more proportionate regulation, enhanced access to insurance, and focused initiatives in critical areas such as flood resilience, cyber risk coverage, and the development of professional skills across the sector.
The manifesto also underscores the importance of sustained collaboration with government bodies and regulatory authorities to tackle long-term challenges facing the insurance market. These objectives align closely with the strategic focus of advisory groups like the Large Brokers’ Advisory Board (LBAB).
