Alesco poaches Willis broker to chair construction unit

Specialist broker Alesco Risk Management Services has hired Willis' Martin Hiller as chairman of its UK construction team.

Hiller was most recently at Willis Towers Watson where he was head of international construction within its corporate risk and broking unit. He spent 10 years at JLT as head of specialty and prior to that was a founder and managing director of JLT’s construction division.

Hiller will join Alesco later this year and will report to John Thompson, managing director of construction.

“I am delighted that we are welcoming an industry leader of Martin’s calibre to the team," said Thompson. "Alesco has built one of the fastest growing London construction brokers over the last three years, during which time we have assembled a c.50-strong team of specialists. We are attracting the industry’s strongest talent and, as a market leader in construction, Martin will be at home and influential among our expanding team of first class practitioners.”
