Price Forbes grows energy and renewables team with appointment of Dan Nicholls and Ray Spreadbury

Price Forbes has appointed Dan Nicholls to its energy leadership team, and Ray Spreadbury as head of renewables.

Dan Nicholls has joined the business after 11 years at Miller, including four as head of Onshore Energy. He has experience across Midstream and Downstream Energy, Power Utility, and Renewables, as well developing alternative risk transfer and parametric solutions for clients.

Our connected interdisciplinary teams will match the changing energy landscape – working on hugely complex and world-critical solutions to support our clients to create cleaner, cheaper and more secure energy sources.

“We think the future requires combined skillsets to address our clients’ needs. Dan and Ray are great additions to our existing team of energy experts and product line specialists. We will continue to recruit in this space to match the priorities of the energy sector and navigate the insurance market on their behalf.”

Dan Nicholls said, “I am excited to have joined a growing and dynamic energy team at Price Forbes. The depth of expertise and specialism has already impressed me; and I’m looking forward to working with my new colleagues to grow our business”.
