Willis has been named in the Forbes Magazine list of Global Superstars.

Starting with the Forbes Global 2,000 – the largest companies in the world based on a composite ranking of sales, profits, assets and market value – the magazine compared each company to its industry peers along several criteria: long- and short-term return on equity, sales growth, profit growth, return to shareholders and other benchmarks. The magazine then selected five companies per industry and named them Global Superstars in their respective sectors. Willis was the only broker to make the grade in the insurance marketplace.

As reported in Forbes, “These fast-growing, adroit and well-managed companies help set the benchmarks for their respective industries.”

“This recognition is based on the teamwork, dedication and passion that every Willis Associate has shown over the last few years, and we are honored to have made the list,” said Joe Plumeri, chairman and CEO of Willis. “As we embark on the next stage of our growth, we will continue to set the pace for the global insurance broking sector.”
