Marsh today announced the creation of a new Corporate division within its UK & Ireland business. Bringing together its National Corporate and Risk Management Practices across the region as well as Marsh Risk Consulting, the Corporate division will serve mid-size and large corporates across the UK & Ireland as well as multinational clients’ operations in the region. The division will be led by Joe Grogan, previously Leader of the National Corporate Practice. He will report to Mark Weil, CEO of Marsh UK & Ireland.
The newly-formed Corporate division will also include Marsh’s claims, sales and specialist consulting expertise, enabling the firm to deliver the full range of insurance and risk management capabilities to all its corporate clients.
To support this structure, Marsh also announced the appointment of Charles Beresford-Davies to lead the Risk Management Practice. This will focus exclusively on delivering the firm’s full range of expertise to the largest corporations with the most complex risk needs and will have colleagues based across the UK & Ireland.
Peter Mellor is appointed leader of the National Corporate Practice, which will service national and mid-size companies by offering specialised insurance and risk management support. Both he and Mr Beresford-Davies will report to Mr Grogan.
Marsh also announced the appointment of George Davies to the newly-created position of Chief Client Officer for the UK & Ireland. Reporting to Mr Weil, Mr Davies will represent the voice of the client in the strategic decision-making process across the UK & Ireland.
Commenting on the new structure, Mr Weil said: “Marsh’s corporate clients across the UK and Ireland require our specialist insurance and risk management support more than ever, given the many risk challenges they face as the region battles towards economic recovery and growth. Today’s announcement shows our determination to align our business structure to our clients’ needs. The creation of the role of Chief Client Officer is also significant step in ensuring that the interests of the client are at the forefront of every decision we make.”
