Broker reveals its new members so far this year

Willis has confirmed that eight new members have joined Willis Networks, its partnership with local, independent insurance brokers in the UK, since the beginning of 2009.

Willis Networks is comprised of the Willis Commercial Network, representing brokers placing annual premiums of between £3 million to £25 million, and Willis N², which represents community brokers with up to £3 million in annual premium.

The Willis Commercial Network said its three new members are ProAktive Risk Group, Rotherham Insurance Brokers and David Roberts & Partners. Willis N² meanwhile has added another five new members in addition to the 10 recruited last year; these include: Alliance Insurance Brokers, Hepworth Insurance Services, Ivor Bellas & Co, Hargreaves Perkins Insurance Brokers and Collingwood Richardson & Company.

Bernard Farrell, regional managing director for Willis Networks, said: “We are delighted with the strong start Willis Networks has made to 2009 by recruiting eight new members. We have many more that are looking to join over the coming months. Our success in attracting new members is a testament to the strength of the Willis Networks’ community and the benefits it brings to its members.”
