Willis Group Holdings Ltd. director Perry Golkin will not seek re-election at the upcoming annual general meeting of shareholders.

Golkin , who has served on the board of directors since 2001, is a member of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.

“Perry Golkin has been a part of this company since 1998 and has made a great many contributions that will last long after he leaves our Board,” said Joe Plumeri, chairman and CEO of Willis.

“Willis is a better company today because of his deep involvement from KKR’s initial association to his on-going counsel as a director. Leadership, vision, dedication, hard work and friendship all come to mind when I think of Perry. “
