“It’s been gratifying to see the high level of engagement across all parts of the company, with a strong focus on how best to serve our clients. This gives me enormous confidence that we will make Willis Towers Watson a truly unique and successful organisation through the value we bring to our clients, our colleagues and our shareholders.”

For the quarter, the Willis Capital, Wholesale and Reinsurance segment had commissions and fees of $331 million, an increase of 12 per cent (from $296 million in the same quarter in 2015. The segment’s double-digit reported growth was largely driven by recently-acquired Miller Insurance Services, which added $49 million of revenue in the quarter, while the organic decline was primarily related to the departure of a team of associates in the fine arts, jewellery and specie business as well as the timing of certain business.

The Willis Capital, Wholesale and Reinsurance segment had a reported operating margin of 46 per cent in the first quarter.
