Willis hires former PwC partner as consultant

Willis Towers Watson has expanded its UK consultancy team with the hire of Chris Massey as senior strategic adviser, based in Edinburgh.

Massey has over 15 years of experience in consultancy, having most recently served as partner at PwC.

Prior to this, he was divisional director at Gissings Consultancy Services. Before that, he was a partner at Lane Clark & Peacock.

Peter Rowles, head of Willis Towers Watson’s UK Retirement practice, said, “Chris is an experienced hire for us and joins a very strong Edinburgh team that has grown over the last few years. We are excited about what Chris can bring to the firm as he has consulted for some of the biggest companies in the world and has a focus on strategic advice to businesses.

“Our retirement consultancy team in Edinburgh has been very successful over the past few years and we anticipate that will only increase given the legislative and political changes we are going to witness in the near future. We are proud to have the expertise and the tools to help clients tackle these challenges.”

Massey added: “I am delighted to join Willis Towers Watson and look forward to helping an already very successful Edinburgh office to grow further. The firm has many specialists that have developed a deep understanding of a wide range of business risks and invests heavily in innovative solutions to manage these risks.

“Crucially, the company has global consulting coverage, which is critical to clients and therefore essential for our own success. These are exciting times in pensions and with the impressive client-list that Willis Towers Watson has, of both large and small companies, we are well placed for success.”
