Miller nabs energy quartet from Willis Towers Watson for expansion
Specialist re/insurance broker Miller has made four new hires from Willis Towers Watson to bolster its onshore energy practice.
Adam Barber-Murray, who will lead the team, spent more than a decade at WTW, latterly as head of downstream natural resources broking. Prior to that, he was an onshore energy broker at Aon.
In his new role as Miller’s head of onshore, he will focus on midstream and downstream oil and gas, petro chemicals, power and renewables risks.
He is joined by three additional senior downstream hires: Daniel Fraser, Conor Boughey and Grace Harbottle, all joining from WTW.
Fraser joins as deputy head of onshore, bringing over 30 years’ experience in the strategy, design and placement of downstream oil and gas programmes across the London and International markets, including senior roles at Aon, Gallagher and London broker Alesco.
Boughey joins as broker/account executive; most recently at Willis Towers Watson, he was a senior associate in the Natural Resources team and he brings over ten years’ industry experience, including tenures as a property and casualty underwriter at AXA and a technical claims consultant at LV=.
Harbottle joins as an account executive responsible for supporting Miller’s client delivery, drawing on experience across a range of sectors, including power, mining, metals and downstream oil and gas.
Martin Henderson, head of energy & construction at Miller, said: “We’re delighted to be bolstering our Onshore team through these senior appointments, whose collective experience and individual expertise will further enhance Miller’s capabilities in the downstream space. Their appointments underscore our growth objectives for this part of our business, and we look forward to continuing to invest in the team to deliver a market-leading proposition for clients in the energy sector.”
Barber-Murray said: “We were attracted by Miller’s commitment to building a leading offering across all parts of the energy sector, alongside its continued investment in innovation and service excellence. It’s an exciting time to join an independent business with such a strongly articulated growth story and we look forward to starting.”
