B.P. Marsh has appointed Rupert Villers as a Non-Executive Director on the Board of Denison and Partners. The appointment is subject to the customary regulatory approval.
Villers brings over four decades of experience in the London Insurance Market towards the role.

Addressing his appointment, Villers, said: “I am very pleased to have been asked by Alasdair Ritchie and his backer, B.P. Marsh, to become a Non-Executive Director at Denison and Partners. I look forward to contributing to the business’ ambitious growth plans at a time when the insurance market needs more independent thought and voices.”

We believe that his four decades of experience in management, underwriting and broking in the London Insurance market will add much to the firm.”
