‘Strong and independent’ WTW forges ahead with major brand overhaul

After several months of comprehensive brand and business evaluation since the collapse of its mega merger deal with Aon, global broker  Willis Towers Watson is finally unveiling a newly evolved brand message and look.

Willis Towers Watson has dropped its current brand for a shortened WTW as it begins a new era as a “strong and independent” standalone company under the leadership of new chief executive Carl Hess (pictured).

The company's ticker symbol on the Nasdaq stock market has been changed to “ WTW” from the previous “ WLTW”, under which it has traded since 2016.

“Changing our ticker symbol is just one of the ways we are simplifying to increase our agility and effectiveness, as we move forward as a strong and independent WTW,” explained Hess.

Willis Towers Watson noted that its ordinary shares will continue to be listed on Nasdaq and the CUSIP will remain unchanged. No action is required from shareholders relative to the ticker symbol change.
