“I am so pleased to have Alan leading our EB strategy,” said Collins (pictured below). “There’s vast growth potential in the employee benefits part of our industry, and his role will be to drive that agenda and support members in further building out this area of their businesses. Alan has worked closely with us for many years, and I know his global experience, combined with his dedication to delivering for clients, will greatly accelerate our plans.”
“I am delighted to be given the opportunity to take on this new position at WBN,” Fergusson said. “There has never been a more exciting or dynamic time for international EB clients. I look forward to working with Olga, the WBN team and members to play a leading role in WBN’s growth and development in this key sector.”
