I am confident that his expertise will be vital in providing the business solutions being sought by our clients, which have rapidly evolved even over the last couple of years.”

Steve Hardwick said: "With Solvency II now part of business-as-usual, companies are facing fresh challenges posed by MiFID2, IFRS 4 and the threat/opportunity of digital, as well as the day-to-day matters of new sales, products, services and execution. I'm very much looking forward to harnessing the vast capability of the Willis Towers Watson group to address insurance industry issues like these and creating value for stakeholders.”
