Williams recruited to continue PWS marine expansion
International insurance and reinsurance broker PWS, acquired in January by specialist broking group THB, has announced the appointment of a new divisional director to its Marine Division.
Ralph Williams has over 40 years experience in the London Market where he has specialised in the marine cargo and inland marine broking sector. His role at PWS Marine will include broking and production of new business.
PWS Marine divisional managing director, Richard Cirsch, said:
“I am delighted to welcome Ralph to PWS Marine at an exciting time in our development within THB Group. His expertise and experience will be highly valued as we continue the division’s expansion, cementing our reputation for delivering innovative insurance solutions to our direct, wholesale and reinsurance clients across the world.”
Ralph Williams, who joins PWS Marine from Lloyd’s broker SBJ Ltd, agreed:
“I relish this opportunity to add my experience to that of the highly specialised team at PWS Marine, now based just a stone’s throw from Lloyd’s which of course has its roots in marine insurance. With THB’s investment in PWS, this is clearly a team that is going from strength to strength.”
PWS Marine Division is a trading entity of Thompson Heath & Bond Ltd, part of THB Group plc which announced positive interim results last month showing an increase in turnover of 30% in the six month period.
