Marsh names head of Glasgow operations

Global insurance broking and risk management firm Marsh has appointed Maureen Robertson as head of its Glasgow office, and Martin McKenna as regional sales leader, Scotland.

Robertson joined Marsh in 2012 and was previously regional client services director, Scotland. As head of the Glasgow office, Robertson will assume the overall responsibility for Marsh’s clients across the Central Belt. Before joining Marsh, she was commercial manager of insurer QBE’s Glasgow office.

McKenna, who joins Marsh from Zurich Insurance in Glasgow, held several senior roles at Zurich over 10 years, most recently as Scottish regional sales leader. In his new role, McKenna will focus on business development across Marsh’s Scottish operations.

Both the executives will report to Allan McPherson, zone leader, Scotland and the North of England region.

McPherson commented: "Businesses across Scotland are faced with an increasingly complex risk landscape, which is being created by wider economic, geopolitical and regulatory pressures. To help them manage these risks more effectively, businesses require simple, straightforward advice that protects their future and helps them to grow.

"With her experience, Maureen is well-placed to lead Marsh’s Glasgow office and deliver the best of Marsh to our clients across central Scotland. I’m also delighted that Martin is joining the firm, and look forward to working with him as he builds Marsh’s business in Scotland."
