Ed poaches Willis Re exec to head marine/energy reinsurance
Ed, the broker formerly known as Cooper Gay, has appointed Andy Wakefield as managing director of marine and energy reinsurance.
Wakefield will take up his role later this year, and will report to CEO of reinsurance Kieran Angelini-Hurll.
He joins Ed from Willis Re, where he most recently served as an executive director, focusing on European and London market business. Prior to this, Wakefield served as a senior broker at Aon Benfield.
Angelini-Hurll said: "Andy is an excellent addition to our reinsurance team and the ideal candidate to spearhead the growth of our marine and energy reinsurance offering. This market is primed for a reinsurance broker with global reach which does not compete with its clients. The opportunities for significant and rapid expansion in this sector are clear.
"Andy's reputation, expertise and vision will be a key part of our success. He will ensure that our proposition sets itself apart and that we attract the right talent to complement our existing expertise. I am very pleased to welcome him to the team."
