Miller overhauls business structure, introduces new divisions

Insurance News

By Roxanne Libatique

Independent specialist re/insurance broker Miller has aligned its business into two divisions: Miller UK and Miller International.

The new business structure aims to help Miller deliver on its commitment to building its presence in the UK and international markets.

Miller UK will focus on the business’s London market offering and continued expansion in the UK. Meanwhile, Miller International will oversee all activities across the firm’s international offices, enabling greater focus on the firm’s growth strategy.

“Our leading London market capabilities will always be core, but we also aim to invest significantly in our international capabilities as we look to continually meet and anticipate the needs of our global client base,” Miller CEO James Hands said. “This is an exciting time for Miller as we look to expand across the UK, Europe, and Asia; we have already seen strong international growth both through organic activity and strategic M&A, such as the acquisition of Henner Sports in France (now Miller Sports & Entertainment, Paris) and Japanese Broker Lead Insurance Services.

“This new structure will further empower us to deliver on our international strategy. At the same time, and most importantly, we will always retain our ‘One Miller’ approach, acting as a single global team of empowered experts to deliver for our clients, wherever they are.”

Miller UK came into effect in July 2022, while Miller International launched at the beginning of 2023.

Miller’s appointments as part of changes in business structure

Miller has appointed the following as part of the changes in its business structure:

  • Mike Papworth becomes Managing Director, Miller International;
  • Tim Norman becomes Managing Director, Miller UK;
  • Robert Doust becomes COO, Miller International; and
  • Ron Whyte becomes Head of Asia.

The appointments follow Miller’s announcements of a new head of M&A to grow its industry footprint organically and through strategic M&A transactions and a new account executive for the sports and entertainment team.
