Global Accounts is the new name for ACE’s major risks segment in the UK and Ireland. It is the product of the launch of the company’s global initiative last year to bring together regional teams of global client and claims executives, multinational servicing units as well as the ACE Worldview information portal into a cohesive team for the benefit of clients and brokers, ACE said in a statement.
The Global Accounts division focuses on serving the needs of large domestic and multinational customers around the globe with complex underwriting and servicing needs.
“More and more companies in the UK and Ireland are finding opportunities to do business outside their home countries,” according to David Robinson, regional president, ACE UK & Ireland.
“Global Accounts brings together all of ACE’s capabilities around the world – our people, products and network infrastructure – for the benefit of this important and growing market in the UK and Ireland,” he added.
