Alesco Risk Management Services has announced the appointment of Martin Hiller as Chairman of its UK Construction team.
Hiller joins Alesco from Willis Towers Watson, where he was most recently Head of International Construction within its corporate risk and broking unit.
Before this, he spent 10 years at JLT, first as Managing Director of the company’s Construction division, and later as Head of Specialty.
He is due to take up his new position as Chairman of the UK Construction team later in the year, and will report to John Thompson, Managing Director of Construction at Alesco.
Thompson commented: “I am delighted that we are welcoming an industry leader of Martin’s calibre to the team. Alesco has built one of the fastest growing London construction broker over the last three years, during which time we have assembled a c.50-strong team of specialists.
“We are attracting the industry’s strongest talent and, as a market leader in construction, Martin will be at home and influential among our expanding team of first class practitioners.”
Hiller added: “The growth of the Alesco construction practice is impressive, as is the strong leadership and focus the business has on its people and client delivery. These factors, along with the added appeal of being a broker run by brokers, were all critical in my decision to join the team.
“I look forward to supporting John to build out the business’ UK capability and embracing Alesco’s entrepreneurial culture as we work with the rest of the team to establish the market’s leading construction proposition.”
