There has been a shake-up in managerial duties at Global Risk Partners (GRP) as it looks to further its growth.

Incoming is Stuart Grieb (pictured above), regional managing director for the South, on the back of a career with Brightside, Marsh, Towergate and Willis. He moves into the role occupied by Chris Haggart (pictured below) who will now take on wider responsibilities across the group’s retail division.

 

Grieb will work with a host of GRP hubs across the region including Greens, Higos, Alan & Thomas, TIL, TIL Southend, Gauntlet and Shearwater.

“GRP is an exceptional business with a market-leading client proposition,” Grieb said.“Following the pandemic, clients will more than ever look to their broker for advice and support to help them through challenging economic times.

“I am excited by this new opportunity and look forward to working with GRP’s exceptional retail businesses in the South to help build on their outstanding client reputation.”

Meanwhile, Haggart will now take ownership of GRP’s digital proposition, as well as performance optimisation.

“GRP sets as much store by organic growth as we do acquisitions,” said CEO Mike Bruce. “These roles will amplify our focus on driving growth and building out our integrated client proposition, which now includes healthcare following our recent acquisition of Premier Choice Healthcare in June. 

“We have worked hard during the last three years to drive performance improvements across the business from both our integrated client proposition and our unique data-led platform, which both provides our insurer partners with leading edge analytics and identifies development opportunities for new products to improve client servicing.

“I am delighted to welcome Stuart to GRP. He lives and breathes broking having spent much of his career at some of the UK’s leading insurance brokers, and he will give us renewed impetus within our Southern footprint.

“Chris [Haggart] is taking on an important group-wide role, and I am confident that he will bring about a further boost to our organic growth.”
