Credit and political risk insurance broker BPL Global has recruited industry veteran Emma Ashworth from brokerage giant Willis.
The specialist broker has appointed Ashworth as company director who will help BPL Global set its future strategy, explore new business and cement its market position.
“I am excited to be joining BPL Global,” Ashworth said. “They are a highly respected company and I welcome this new challenge with such a distinguished team.”
Ashworth joins from Willis where she worked for nearly three decades. In the past 16 years, she served as the executive director in the company’s credit and political risks division.
Ashworth was responsible for her division’s largest client, a major investment bank, and for broking new business and managing the existing portfolio.
“Historically, we have made very few external hires at senior level, yet we were delighted with the opportunity to hire someone of Emma’s calibre and market reputation,” said BPL Global managing director Sian Aspinall.
“Emma is highly-regarded within the industry by clients, underwriters and peers alike, and her experience will be vital
