Brokerage giant and risk advisor Marsh has today announced the appointment of Alex Guerin (pictured) as head of office, London, for its UK Corporate business. Guerin will report to Andrew Wilton, MD of UK Corporate’s South Region.
Marsh’s UK Corporate business provides risk management advice, and insurance brokerage and claims advocacy services to mid-size and large organisations through its network of 18 offices. The London Corporate team represents London-based businesses across a range of industry sectors, including financial services, banking, retail and hospitality.
In his new role, Guerin will lead the London Corporate business team, whose role is to offer advice to clients on their risk exposures and devise solutions able to mitigate these risks and increase their operational resilience.
Guerin first joined Marsh in 2012 as part of Marsh’s Graduate Scheme and he most recently worked in its UK risk management business as a client executive, serving a broad range of FTSE clients. He was named National Young Broker of the Year in 2015 by the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA).
Commenting on Guerin’s appointment, Wilton said: “Across the UK, organisations are facing increasing challenges in areas such as cyber, sustainability, and health and safety. With a wealth of hands-on client experience, Alex brings much practical risk and insurance expertise to this leadership role.
“As we continue to recruit more graduates, Alex’s appointment demonstrates the breadth of opportunities available across the business for colleagues to reach their career potential at Marsh.”
Guerin added that he was excited by the opportunity to work with a great team of colleagues in Marsh’s London office as they seek to meet the changing needs of clients.
“I look forward to broadening our engagement with the businesses we serve,” he said, “to support and advise them on the key risk challenges they face.”
