Ed strengthens downstream energy team with Marsh JLT hire

London-based reinsurance, wholesale and specialty broker Ed has appointed Brett Hatton as divisional director, downstream energy.

Based in London, Hatton will report to Jon Parker, who leads the downstream energy team, and will begin in September.

Parker said: “In these challenging times, offering specialist expertise to our clients is more important than ever. Brett is an impressive addition to our energy team and his expansive knowledge will be key in our continued ability to supply the advice and support that our clients have come to rely on. His experience in placing and servicing global onshore production facilities will certainly enhance our current capabilities and client service. I am delighted to welcome Brett to the Ed team.”
