He began his career at US accounting firm Arthur Andersen, working there from 1974 to 1994. Bloomer then spent the next ten years at Prudential, an insurance firm based in the UK, eventually becoming group CEO until 2005.
Bloomer and his wife Judy are among those missing after the luxury yacht sank off the coast of Sicily, following a freak storm.
Stonebridge chief executive Rob Clifford says: “This is shocking news and we await in hope for a positive outcome. Meanwhile, we have sent our heartfelt wishes to Jonathan’s family at this anxious and terrible time.”
