David Bearman

David Bearman is the founder and CEO of Aventum Group. David developed what is today Aventum Group as an 18-year-old in 1996. Since then he has forged a unique path forward, taking the business from a small commercial retail broker based in Chadwell Heath, Essex, to a global (re)insurance broking and underwriting business, controlling over $1.1bn GWP, employing over 270 people and with 13 offices worldwide. On this journey to date, David has been at the heart of both the London market broking and MGA scenes, founding successful brands in sectors of these markets where he sees opportunity.

Alongside his experience placing and underwriting reinsurance and insurance products, schemes and delegated authority arrangements, he has also established and developed many of these products. He has achieved and developed relationships with numerous global capacity providers, forming an extensive client network with a results-focused approach as a core business strategy.
Most of all though David is an entrepreneurial leader. He has built the Group from the ground up all without external investment, and is constantly seeking out new directions to expand. He looks to bring in talent that shares his attitude to working, and finding new ways to break from traditional ways of providing insurance.

Outside of the insurance world, David is father to three children and most likely to be found at a race circuit or show jumping arena, supporting his children.
