Marsh doubles risk team staff

INSURANCE broker and risk adviser Marsh has doubled the size of its insurance broker and risk adviser department.

The company has reacted to growing demand for insurance and risk advice by recruiting three new team members.

John Fraser is to lead the Edinburgh-based team as senior private client manager and is to focus on developing the business in Scotland and the north of England.

Former Prudential customer services manager Wendy Brady also joins the firm as private client team leader. Gordon Baillie joins as a client adviser from Perth broker Clark Thomson.

Adrian Saunders, head of Marsh's private client services, said: "As their wealth portfolios change in these challenging times, high net worth individuals need now, more than ever, the personal advice and expertise available from Marsh."
