Price Forbes & Partners (Bermuda) Limited today announces the appointment of William Wood as Senior Vice President of its newly created Insurance Management unit.

He joins after a brief term as Director of Captives and Commercial Insurers at Artex Risk Solutions (Bermuda) Limited and before that was CEO of Charles Taylor’s captives business for six years.
