Miller, an independent specialist re/insurance broker, has appointed Christopher Dines as Head of Client Service within a newly created Real Estate team, effective immediately.
Dines will be based in London to build out a dedicated global Real Estate offering, catering to both wholesale and direct client channels.
He will be reporting to Martin Henderson, Head of Energy at Miller, and work closely with Miller’s wider construction team to establish the complementary line of business.
Dines has three decades of experience and joins from Gallagher following a 13 years’ tenure, most recently serving as an Executive Director in its Real Estate team.
Before Gallagher, he held several senior and underwriting roles across the real estate insurance sector, including at HSBC, Willis Towers Watson, Aon and RSA.
Tim Norman, Managing Director, Miller UK, commented, “Christopher is an exceptionally experienced and highly regarded operator in the real estate insurance market, whose thirty years of sector specialism and deep subject-matter expertise equip him perfectly to lead the development of our new global Real Estate offering.
“We see Real Estate as both an exciting growth opportunity for Miller and as a natural addition to our wider Construction proposition, further enabling us to support the evolving needs of new and existing clients in London and internationally. Christopher will collaborate closely with the existing teams across these markets, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming him to Miller.”
Dines concluded, “Miller’s commitment to service excellence, collaborative culture and continued investment in talent meant this was an extremely attractive opportunity to join an independent business that is determinedly building a market-leading, differentiated offering. I’m excited to be getting started, and building out a Real Estate proposition that can complement Miller’s leading position in Construction.”
