Marsh hires Aon claims head

Marsh has appointed Alan Morton as senior claims advocate in its international division and property claims practice group leader, UK and international.

Morton joins from Aon Global Risk Consulting, where he was director and head of claims advocacy.

Prior to Aon, he spent 23 years at JLT, where he was head of claims.

Morton said: “It is when companies have a claim that they are most reliant on their broker to deliver a good and timely outcome. It is the part of our business where ‘the rubber hits the road’."

David Pigot, head of claims for Marsh’s International Division, said: “Alan Morton is a highly respected claims professional with vast experience of global insurance markets, particularly the London market."
