Leadership at BJS Insurance Group

Simon Fanning – Director

Fanning has been with BJS Insurance Group for more than two decades, joining the organisation in January 2002. Prior to this, he was a surveyor at Concord Insurance Group.

Belinda J Scott – CEO & Owner

Taking on the role of CEO and Director was pretty much up to Belinda—she's also the owner, and now you know where the “BJS” comes from! Her father worked with Concord Underwriting, so she grew into this role almost from birth.

David van Diemen – Chief Financial Officer

Van Diemen was appointed CFO of the group in January 2014. Before this, he served as director at Pitcher Partners. He also had stints with PwC, gas giant Shell, and consulting firm EisnerAmper.

Dianne Phelan – Group Operations Manager

Phelan has been leading the operations side of BJS Insurance Group since February 2002. Before joining the group, she was managing director at Morris Lloyd Insurance Brokers.
