London, 8 May 2009

The Risk Consulting Practice at Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk adviser, has won the Risk Service Provider of the Year category in the European Risk Management Awards, which were announced on 7 May in Berlin.

The Risk Service Provider of the Year category recognises the achievements an organisation has made in developing or improving its services to the risk management community over the past 12 months.

Marsh’s Risk Consulting Practice received the Risk Service Provider of the Year award on the strength of its developments in Enterprise Risk Management, enhanced risk management solutions for the middle market, and tools designed to help clients respond to the economic downturn.

Jeff Colburn, CEO of Marsh’s UK Risk Consulting Practice, said: “The team is honoured to receive the Risk Service Provider of the Year award, given stiff competition from other brokers, accountants and consulting firms. The award is testament to the hard work Marsh has put into developing our risk management expertise over the past 12 months, and creating solutions to respond to new risk issues created by the global recession.

“The award is a tremendous vote of confidence in the products and services we offer to our clients across Europe and our thanks go to Strategic Risk and the judges for their recognition of our successes.”
