The Board of Directors of FIRM Insurance Brokers Limited welcomes financial industry veteran Desmond Johnson, who takes the helm as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, after acquiring majority stake in the company.
Mr. Johnson transitions to FIRM following an illustrious career spanning three decades in Jamaica's financial landscape, most recently as a Senior Executive at NCB Financial Group.

In this regard, FIRM's established reputation will be skillfully combined with fresh perspectives on financial protection, expanding client relationships and the introduction of integral complementary services such as fund management.
