Marsh has created a new corporation division within its UK and Ireland business, bringing together its national corporate and risk management practices across the region and Marsh risk consulting.
The corporate division will serve mid-size and large corporates across the UK and Ireland as well as multinational clients’ operations in the region.
Joe Grogan, previous leader of Marsh’s national corporate practice, will lead the division. He will report to Mark Weil, CEO of Marsh UK and Ireland.
To support the structure Marsh has recruited Charles Beresford-Davies to lead the risk management practice and Peter Mellor as the new leader of the national corporate practice. Both Beresford-Davies and Mellor will report to Grogan.
Marsh has also appointed George Davies to the newly-created position of chief client officer for the UK and Ireland. Davies will also report to Weil.
The new corporate division will also include Marsh’s claims, sales and specialist consulting capabilities, enabling the firm to deliver the full range of insurance and risk management facilities to all its corporate clients.
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 a significant step in ensuring that the interests of the client are at the forefront of every decision we make.”
Grogan added: “The integration of Marsh’s national corporate and risk management practices across the UK and Ireland represents a significant investment in the national and major corporate client space. By combining our capabilities in the newly formed corporate division, we will be able to bring the full range of services our clients need to them more seamlessly. It will allow us to deliver the whole firm to our corporate clients and help us contribute to their success.”
