Former SBJ to target new business in North America

PWS Holdings has appointed Simon Christensen as a director of its marine division.

PWS has spent the past two months in takeover talks with Lloyd's broker, THB.

Christensen follows Richard Cirsch, who joined PWS from SBJ in November to become managing director of the marine division.

In his new role, Christensen will look to secure new business streams - in particular, in North America.

PWS chief executive, Stephen Card, said: "I am delighted to welcome Simon to the expanding Marine Division of PWS. Simon will join Richard Cirsch, the recently appointed MD of PWS Marine, and I look forward with enthusiasm to the further development of this team over the coming months."
