Five new partners appointed to support business growth

We have appointed five new partners, alongside a series of senior promotions, as we continue to invest in talent and drive business growth across our core markets.

In total, we have promoted five new partners, eight principals, and 27 associates. These appointments span our wide-ranging services in risk, pensions, investment and insurance, reinforcing the depth and diversity of expertise across our business.

Both the partner appointments and key promotions follow the recent news of our acquisition by Howden, a global insurance and employee benefits intermediary group. This move marks an exciting new phase of growth and opportunity for the business and reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in our people, capabilities and technological innovation, while demonstrating the scale and breadth of expertise within the firm.

Our new partners are:

• Reena Tanna, DC Investment Consulting 
• Lewys Curteis, DB Pensions Consulting
• Nikhil Patel, Risk Transfer Consulting
• Harshil Shah, Risk and Resilience Services
• Julien Masselot, Insurance and Longevity Consulting
   

Andrew Vaughan, Senior Partner, said: “As we continue to grow and evolve following our recent acquisition by Howden, one thing remains constant: the core belief that our people are the key to our success and we are proud to recognise and nurture the exceptional talent at BW. 

“The promotions highlight the strength, expertise, and influence these people have across our teams and the wider business. Supporting career progression remains a core part of our culture, and these appointments are not only a celebration of individual achievement - they also reflect the depth of talent in our teams that continue to drive our business forward on its fantastic trajectory of success." 

Jacqui Derrick, Partner and Head of People, added: “Our commitment to celebrating excellence and enabling people to progress at every stage of their career remains at the heart of BW. Our strong training and development programs help individuals achieve their full potential, and these appointments are testament to that.”

We also offer a heartfelt thank you to the partners who are retiring, in recognition of their invaluable contributions over many years.

Seven longstanding partners who are retiring this year are Julia Bassett, Sue Foley, Paul Hamilton, John Hoskin, Colin Mayger, Graeme Muir and Zoe Smith.

Andrew added: "We extend a big thank you to the partners who are retiring for their invaluable contributions over many years and their help in building our business. We wish them every happiness in the future.”
