About Us

We partner with best-in-class legal, financial, and insurance providers to deliver exclusive borderless solutions that solve the unique challenges posed by working internationally and living abroad.

Our Approach
Life as an expat has its constraints.
Profession, location, and lifestyle require different legal, insurance, pension planning, and financial considerations.
Baymac delivers freedom and protection by negotiating with leading service providers to create customised insurance and financial solutions tailored to expats, pilots, aviation professionals, and organisations. Our unique partnerships secure group rate savings for all members.
Benefits and rewards are designed to be portable.
Our Member solutions travel with you, no matter where you work, live, or play.
Our Story
Baymac started with Daren Bayley-Hay, a veteran of the aviation industry and a long-time expat. His career began as a pilot starting with Air Jamaica and subsequently Emirates Airlines.
Daren moved on to qualify as a Barrister in the UK, being called to the Bar at Lincoln’s Inn, and subsequently earned Master’s degrees in both Air Transport Management and Air and Space Law. In these roles he assisted airlines and aviation organisations in increasing operational efficiencies, reducing costs, and providing long term staff benefits to assist in retaining personnel.
This combination of high-level experience and expertise in aviation, business and law naturally evolved into his interest and desire to provide high valued solutions to those working in the aviation industry and as global expats.
Enter Baymac.
Founded by Daren in 2008, Baymac provided general business management consulting services including turn-key start-up solutions, negotiation of international contracts and later developed a subscription-based Membership Services structure to advocate, negotiate and to bridge the gap between best-in-class service providers and global citizens.
In 2012, Douglas Lindo and Tracy Bennett joined the Baymac team, bringing to the company a wealth of international business and finance experience while adding value and a greater understanding of expat needs, having worked with senior executives and organisations across the globe.
Whether in Europe, North America, South America Caribbean, Asia or the Middle East, regions in which members of Baymac Executives have resided, it became evident the Baymac Team that there was an urgent need for better global insurance coverage and financial services to serve the needs of pilots and expats – a need that could only properly be served by those who truly understand the pain points and had the expertise to select best in class providers.
