Towergate Employee Benefits expands group risk team

The group risk consulting team at Towergate Employee Benefits has welcomed two new group risk consultants, Rob Joyce and Savas Kilicer, taking the team to 18 experienced consultants.

Rob joined at the end of March, and Savas early May. Both have been appointed as specialist group risk consultants who will be advising on, and managing, a portfolio of existing group risk clients. They will also work with other departments within the Ardonagh Group to introduce new clients to group risk.

Both Rob and Savas join Towergate Employee Benefits from Mercer. They bring a breadth and depth of experience in wider employee benefits including healthcare, giving them a good grounding in advising on how group risk can dovetail with other employee benefits. Both have a great track record in understanding client needs, and will work across all sizes of customer within the SME sphere

The company is currently also recruiting in their group risk administration team to match the pace of recruitment of consultants, so consultants have one-to-one support.

David Williams, Head of Group Risk at Towergate Employee Benefits, said: “We are experiencing very high levels of interest in group risk, and the appointments of Rob and Savas help us meet demand, while still excelling in service.

“We will continue to make careful recruitment choices as we grow to ensure we keep ahead of the curve to offer the best possible support to our customers.”
