Specialist re/insurance broker Miller has expanded its delegated authorities offering, with the launch of a new team dedicated to the European market. The team will be led by Laurie Gaitskell as head of European delegated authorities, alongside Anne-Sophie Petit and Ilenia Piszolitto – all former Alesco Delegated Authority insurance specialists.

The new division will specialise in open market and coverholder business, particularly SMEs and hard-to-place risks, in France, Switzerland and Monaco.

Chris Hardcastle, head of delegated authorities, commented: “I am delighted to welcome Laurie, Anne-Sophie and Ilenia to Miller. Their depth of experience in the French market further strengthens our European presence and is a great complement to our existing delegated authority business. As we continue to go from strength to strength, I’m excited to see our capabilities continue to evolve in this space.”

Gaitskell added: “Miller’s independent status, forward-looking approach and focus on growth made the decision to join an obvious one. They have a strong reputation both internationally and in the London market which will allow us to offer French insurance brokers and agents tailor-made solutions, including for risks which are often hard to place.”
