Willis Commercial Network is in the process of renewing contracts with its local independent brokers.

The network now has more than 70 brokers operating from 84 offices. Willis is confident that membership levels will grow to more than 100 over the next few years.

Mark Radburn, Willis Commercial Network's managing director, said: “The network's unique business model is very attractive to successful local brokers who wish to deliver superb service to their clients, remaining independent, yet having access to the global resources of Willis.”

Radburn is “very proud of our 95% retention rate which we believe demonstrates that our proposition is still attractive today”.

Among the services available to network members are risk finance consulting, risk management, specialist advice, dedicated marketing assistance, compliance and management training.
