As it aims to make it easier for brokers and customer to have access to its key decision makers, RSA has decided to shake up its Global Risk Solutions (GSR) operating model.

The company has decided to split its GRS into three units effective immediately, with each head reporting to managing director Hayley Robinson.

“The new structure for GRS allows us to serve our customers better and compete more effectively,” she explained. “By simplifying how we do business, we will be able to trade more collaboratively with brokers and with more focus across the markets in which we operate.”

According to a company release, the new structure is as follows:

·         Europe
Led by Richard Turner, this business will be responsible for Europe specialty lines, Europe & international marine, Dubai International Financial Centre and Scandinavia hull.

·         Specialty & Wholesale
Led by Gareth Hilton, this business will cover London Market construction and engineering, renewable energy, marine and wholesale international property & casualty. 

·         UK & Multinational
This covers the existing UK and multinational risk managed business including real estate. Gary Long will lead this business.

All three directors previously held leadership positions within GRS and share almost 100 years of insurance industry experience.
