Willis connects US and global fac units

Willis Group Holdings has said it will combine its US facultative arm, Willis Facultative North America, with its global facultative operation, Faber Global.

The company said it believes the move will help link expertise in the US with that of its global operations for the benefit of all clients.

Alf Garner, CEO of Faber Global North America, said: “Bringing together our teams will provide our North American clients with access to a broader depth of analytical and broking resources to provide solutions to the product, industry and geographical issues that they face on a daily basis.”

Jason Howard, CEO of Faber Global, said: “The global nature of our clients means they require access to global expertise, wherever they are based in the world. By joining these two operations together we are making it easier for our teams to deliver the very best of Faber Global to our clients anywhere in the world.”
