Recently named the youngest senior vice president in Socius Insurance Services history, Ian Bell also serves as co-chair of the professional liability practice for the organization. Bell has retained a strong focus in management, cyber and professional liability, developed through his dedication to product knowledge. One of his most notable achievements has been creating an exclusive program through Lloyd’s of London, which provided management liability coverage for a hard-to-place niche profession. Bell is also part of the Socius Innovation Committee, which searches for ways the company can work more efficiently. In 2014, Bell received Socius Insurance’s Outstanding Salesperson of the Year Award, and he also holds ARM, RPLU and CPCU designations.

“Ian is a remarkable young insurance professional who has achieved levels of success faster than any producer I have worked with in my 30-year career,” says Patrick E. Hanley Sr., president of Socius Insurance Services. “The combination of his extraordinary work ethic, responsiveness, product knowledge and social skills point toward a very successful career in the wholesale brokerage space.”
