Former Broker Network CEO to elevate M&A services to new heights

Andy Fairchild, a seasoned insurance professional and former CEO of Broker Network, has joined IDEX Consulting to spearhead its M&A division.

Renowned for his innovative mindset and people-focused approach to deal-making, Andy has earned a strong reputation within the broker community.

“I’m excited to join IDEX at such a pivotal moment in broking industry. Our team is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to the values and ethics that truly support brokers in their growth and sale strategies. As an independent and impartial consultancy, IDEX has a unique opportunity to approach M&A differently, with integrity, trust, and due diligence at the core of our solutions,” said Andy.

Andy’s extensive career includes leadership roles at Applied Systems, AXA Insurance, Footman James, and several InsurTech companies. During his tenure at Broker Network, he achieved a significant increase in EBITDA, with half of the growth produced from organic efforts and the other half from an ambitious M&A strategy.

Matt Green, CEO of IDEX Consulting, commented: “We’re thrilled to have Andy join us on this journey. His vast experience, combined with our innovative business growth platform, will unlock exciting opportunities for our clients.”

In addition to his executive roles, Andy has served as a non-executive board director for various organisations.
