Global Risk Partners (GRP) now has an investment director in the form of Scott Hallett (pictured).
The newly created post will see Hallett working with GRP’s brokers and managing general agents to accelerate the insurance intermediary group’s acquisition strategy. He will report to GRP chief operating officer Stephen Ross.
“Finding the right businesses with leaders who will enjoy and thrive in GRP’s entrepreneurial culture has been central to our success,” said Ross. “Scott is an experienced practitioner with good connections in the market, both of which make him an ideal choice for this role.
“We have a significant number of potential new acquisitions already in play, and I’m sure Scott will make a real impact in helping to bring these deals to fruition, as well as developing our pipeline.”
Meanwhile Hallett, who cited having several former colleagues at GRP, commented: “I’m really excited about joining up with them again to become part of a highly successful acquisitions team.”
Credentials of the new investment director include time spent as regional director at Fusion and as general manager at Aspen Risk Management.
