Torus Names Fillingham UK COO

Torus announced the appointment of Tim Fillingham as Chief Operating Officer for Torus UK. His primary role is to “ensure superior service delivery to clients and brokers accessing the London and UK markets and leading relationship management with UK-based brokers,” the bulletin explained.

In addition to this regional role, Fillingham retains global responsibility for all marketing and corporate communications activities, part of his previous role as Torus’ Chief Marketing Officer.

He reports to European COO Dermot O’Donohoe and to Global COO Naveen Anand. The announcement also noted that, “although Torus was incorporated in June 2008 Mr. Fillingham had been involved in the project from its conception over a year earlier and was an instrumental part of the team that created the company.”

Fillingham noted: “We have ambitious strategic goals for Torus and therefore need to stay close to the local markets to ensure that we offer the level of service that buyers and brokers require, whilst developing our business profitably. Having previously been within the brokerage community, I am acutely aware of the importance of delivering consistently high levels of performance.”

Prior to joining Torus in January 2008, Fillingham was Chairman of Aon Natural Resources, in the UK. He originally joined the broker in 1983 and was a leading member of the team that managed one of the world’s largest energy portfolios.

Torus’ Chief Executive Clive Tobin added: “Superior service is key to developing the long-term relationships with clients and their brokers that will underpin our success. We are fortunate to be able to call on Tim’s expertise and experience in this area to direct our initiatives in the London and UK markets”.
