Willis has named the longest standing member of its executive team, Daniel Wilkinson, as CEO of its UK and Ireland divisions.
Wilkinson, who has been with Willis for 16 years, will lead 1,100 associates in 22 offices across the UK. After starting his career at a Lloyd’s Marine syndicate, Wilkinson spent seven years broking for Miller Insurance and Fenchurch, before joining Willis in 1995. For the last five years, he has successfully built up the corporate, credit, insolvency and private finance initiative (PFI) units of WUKI, driving significant revenue and margin growth across all areas.
Brendan McCafferty, currently managing director of WUKI’s commercial and network businesses, will take on the newly created role of President of the division. He has been at Willis for over three years. Before joining Willis, he was finance director for RSA’s UK commercial division.
WUKI has been led, on an interim basis, by Willis group president Grahame Millwater. Willis’ Ireland operation, under CEO Brian Curtis, will remain part of WUKI and will report into Millwater.
