Based in London, Willmott will have overall responsibility for delivering services and solutions to local and central government, state agencies, emergency services and social housing providers.
“Local and central government, government agencies, emergency services, and social housing providers need to shape strong and vibrant communities, while controlling their costs and building resilience into the delivery of their services,” Willmott said.
“I look forward to working with the team to deliver the services and solutions that our clients require in order to meet these challenges,” he added.
Bonynge said the public sector in the UK and Ireland are facing an “increasingly complex risk landscape, with weather-related risks, regulation and cyber threats high on risk managers’ agendas.”
