Williams said: “We are delighted to join the NFP family and its colleagues who share our commitment to providing client-focused solutions.

“This fabulous opportunity also enables our clients to access NFP’s global network of integrated insurance, HR, benefits, wealth management and retirement solutions, which will help them meet their holistic business needs.”
