Willis, a WTW business, has announced it is returning to the light and recreational general aviation market after a 30-year absence.
The expansion was made possible by the arrival of the Crispin Speers team, a specialist Lloyd’s insurance and reinsurance broker based in London.
Their established expertise and structured solutions have enabled Willis to broaden its insurance offerings for the first time, the firm stated.
Willis now offers a fully comprehensive range of insurance solutions specifically tailored for light and recreational general aviation operations.
This includes coverage for microlights, balloons, gliders, commercial drones, as well as light fixed wing aircraft.
Furthermore, by leveraging the expertise of its extensive network, Willis is also now equipped to offer commercial insurance solutions for non-aviation risk exposures.
The arrival of the Crispin Speers team introduces established, turnkey services, underpinned by technology which allows the prompt and efficient handling of a large volume business offering.
John Rooley, Head of Global Aviation and Space at Willis said: “Our re-entry into the light and recreational general aviation sector closes a long-standing gap in Willis’s portfolio, enabling the delivery of an A-Z suite of insurance solutions. Clients can now benefit from a seamless, one-stop approach for all their aviation insurance requirements, backed by Willis’s global reach and trusted reputation.
“This expansion reflects Willis’s unwavering commitment to its clients, partners, and industry stakeholders. By broadening our capabilities and embracing innovation, we are confident in our ability to deliver market-leading insurance solutions and drive positive change across the aviation sector and beyond.”
