Ben Crabtree is appointed Managing Director of AssuredPartners – London Office. Reporting to David Heathfield, Ben will work closely with the leadership team of AssuredPartners International.
Ben joined AssuredPartners London in December 2019 to establish the M&A insurance division. Ben began his career over two decades ago at Aon and then JLT Specialty / Marsh. Initially specialising in Professional Indemnity insurance, he moved into M&A insurance in 2003 and ultimately led Aon London’s Transaction Liability and D&O teams. At JLT Ben established JLT Australia’s M&A insurance offering before returning to lead the London M&A practice where he had the experience of both London market wholesale and retail placements.
While continuing to play an active role in the ongoing success of the M&A division, Ben will be responsible for driving sustained revenue growth in the London operation organically and through team hires, adding to our existing expertise on the retail and wholesale sides of the business.
Ben Crabtree stated, “I’m absolutely delighted to be taking on this role. My colleagues are a team of high-performing specialist brokers with a desire to succeed. The spirit within the business is brilliant. I have no doubt that we’ll continue to attract the best talent in the London market and I’m hugely excited about the next phase of growth for AssuredPartners London.”
Commenting on the appointment, David Heathfield, CEO AssuredPartners International, “Ben’s breadth of experience in leadership roles within the industry made him the natural choice for this role. As we grow rapidly across the UK and in Ireland it is important that we have a leadership structure in place that allows our London office to continue its own path of growth and remain a trusted trading partner for our vast network of distribution across the United States.’’
