He started at Alston Gayler from early 2009 performing various support functions across the P&I and H&M teams, before beginning a 5 year career at Willis in early 2010. Initially employed as an Account Handler on the Greek team, it was not long before the scope of the role grew to include Client facing roles in both Greece and the Middle East.
This involvement in the Middle East coincided with the rise of piracy in the Indian Ocean and as that exposure grew, Nick soon became responsible for the placement of the entire Marine teams’ Kidnap & Ransom book.
