The move marks a significant step in the firm’s ongoing growth strategy and strengthens its presence across Europe.
The new Swedish office will be part of McGill and Partners‘ European entity, increasing its ability to offer specialised broking expertise to clients and trading partners throughout the region. The expansion will allow the firm to deliver advanced solutions across key specialty areas, catering to the unique needs of its global clientele.
Initial hires for the Swedish branch include Jon Petursson and Wilhelm Westerstad, both of whom will join from WTW. With over two decades of experience, Jon and Wilhelm have been pivotal in developing specialty-focused business portfolios in the Nordics and beyond. They will officially join McGill and Partners after completing their current contractual obligations.
The expansion into the Nordics is a key milestone for McGill and Partners, demonstrating the firm’s continued growth and commitment to strengthening its global footprint in the insurance and reinsurance markets.
Stephen Cross, CEO of McGill and Partners Europe, commented on the expansion: “We are focused on attracting top talent in markets with significant untapped potential, and we are excited to expand our European presence with the opening of our Swedish office. “
He added “Jon and Wilhelm bring a wealth of expertise to the team, and their addition will enhance our ability to deliver market-leading solutions to our clients and partners in the region.”
