Miller raids rival brokers to expand in professional risks market

Specialist re/insurance broker  Miller has made two new hires from rival players WTW and Besso to further expand its offerings in the professional risks market.

Adam Power (pictured left) joins as account executive in  Miller’s international professional risks team, and Rebecca Harvey (pictured right) as account executive in the North American professional risks team.

Power has over 25 years’ experience, most recently as director and practice leader in the construction professional indemnity team at WTW. Prior to that, he spent 16 years in Australia working with JLT and Aon, acting for mid to large size corporate and global clients across Australia and Asia. He also spent two years as a divisional director at Howden.

In his new role, Power will focus on leading the professional indemnity insurance offering for clients in the construction and property sectors, both in the UK and internationally, working with Miller’s newly expanded UK construction team to maximise cross class opportunities.

Harvey joins from independent Lloyd’s broker Besso, where she held the position of producer/broker. Prior to that, she worked at Marsh JLT Speciality as vice president, management liability, focusing on a variety of retail and wholesale risks in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.

At  Miller, Harvey will focus on North American production across professional lines with a focus on D&O.

Miller said it is committed to invest in new talent to meet the evolving needs of clients.

Ed Pickard and Andy Brett, joint heads of international professional & financial risks, praised the new colleagues and their prior experiences in the target market.

Pickard said: “His [Power] depth of experience in construction PI will be a great asset to us. The ability to offer construction and property clients the full suite of insurance solutions positions us very strongly, and I’m excited for our continued growth in this space.”

Brett added: “Her [Harvey] dedicated experience in the London financial lines market and exposure to internationally domiciled risks makes her an excellent fit for our growing team. As we continue to develop our expertise in the North American professional risks market, her appointment reflects our commitment to strengthening our offering and providing the best possible service to our clients in the region.”
