LONDON— Marsh Ltd., the London-based arm of global broking and risk management firm Marsh Inc., has restructured its United Kingdom business in an effort to provide customers with a better service.

Alex Moczarski, chief executive officer of Marsh in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said that Marsh has "ambitious" growth targets for the U.K. business and that the new structure will help deliver this by providing customers with "optimal value".

It will try to do this by adopting a new structure based upon the size of the client as well as the sector in which they operate and by offering a "one-stop-shop" style of service.

Thus the group's major accounts business known as the Risk Management Practice will be merged with the specialties practice under the leadership of Julian Wallers and focus on the bigger customers.

John Nicholson will head a second unit focused upon the national middle market and small client business.

Toby Foster, former head of the group's risk consulting business, will lead Marsh's U.K. Client Development, Industry and Client Executive practices operations.

Mark Gregory will be in charge of all the group's placement activities. Claims management will be run by David Pigot, who is responsible for all claims activities in the EMEA region, including the U.K.
