Mr. Fox leaves a long background in journalism that began in 1974 and has included work with Bermuda's broadcast and print media.

Chairman of the IAC Marketing Committee, Roger Gillett commented, "We are pleased to have David join the team involved in promoting Bermuda's rapidly expanding insurance market.

"His demonstrated talents in the media over many years will stand him in good stead for the challenges ahead.

"We are gratified to have found a Bermudian with such diverse contacts on, and outside the Island, and who also has such a wide knowledge of the local industry.'' Mr. Gillett said he wished Mr. Scotton the best in his future endeavours, and said, "Roger was the first person to fill the position of director of information services , and in effect, defined the position.

"We believe David will now settle into an evolving role, as the Bermuda market faces increasing competition and an always changing industry. We are confident he will be a valuable asset to the effort.'' ON THE MOVE -- David Fox BUSINESS BUC
