BPL Global hires former Willis credit and political risk specialist

Specialist credit and political risk insurance broker BPL Global has appointed Emma Ashworth as a company director.

Ashworth has 29 years of experience at Willis, having most recently served as an executive director within its credit and political risks division.

She previously served as divisional director in international property reinsurance and before that managed Willis Hungary, a newly established affiliate office.

In this role, Ashworth will be responsible for working alongside the other directors to set BPL Global’s future strategy.

Sian Aspinall, managing director at BPL Global, commented: “Historically, we have made very few external hires at senior level, yet we were delighted with the opportunity to hire someone of Emma’s calibre and market reputation.

“Emma is highly-regarded within the industry by clients, underwriters and peers alike, and her experience will be vital as we continue to seek to meet the growing demand for CPRI globally.”

Ashworth added: “I am excited to be joining BPL Global. They are a highly respected company and I welcome this new challenge with such a distinguished team.”
