Nine promoted at Freisenbruch-Meyer Group

Nine employees were promoted at Freisenbruch-Meyer Group and the company has hired additional staff since the firm expanded its business last year.

Michael Freisenbruch, president, said in a press release: “The success of this company is directly attributed to the quality of my team member’s work and their efforts. Everyone has contributed and I could not ask for a better team to work with. In this increasingly competitive market and contracting economy, we recognize that if we invest in our people, we ultimately invest in Bermuda. I often recite, ‘Being in business is a privilege.’  I hope we have the opportunity to provide our services for many more years and therefore, continue to hire.” 

William Madeiros, EVP, general manager, added: “We take great pride in the fact that 95 per cent of our employees are Bermudian. We have leveraged the state of the economy by being more inwardly-focused; recognizing our business strengths, developing our staff and identifying areas for growth. Our constant goal is to understand our client’s needs and then exceed their expectations with quality service and products.”

Those who were promoted included: Tom Edwards – broker, Alryta Furbert – AVP, employee benefits, Heidi Grant – VP, commercial lines, Antonia Holder – AVP, business development, Janeene Harris – underwriter, commercial lines, Paul Maccoy – AVP, claims, Troy Richardson – AVP, personal lines, Julian Sykes – AVP, claims, Shelley Lewis – AVP, administration.

Last year the company renovated its building on Front Street and added an elevator among other improvements. The company’s renovations have seen Freisenbruch-Meyer Group as one of six companies honoured by the Ministry of Health for the universal accessibility of their building. FMG received the Built Environment Access Award for moving its business operations to their ground floor, installing a lift and enlarging their entrance, which includes automatic doors.
