Marsh Forms New Global Mining Practice

As mining organizations pursue growth opportunities outside their home countries, they are challenged by a number of new and emerging exposures. Marsh has formed a new Global Mining Practice that will combine its global relationships and experience.

Andrew Chester, head of Marsh’s UK-based international insurance placement operations, has been named to the additional post of Chairman of the new practice. Chester, based in London, has more than 20 years’ experience in the international mining and heavy industrial insurance industries. He will be responsible for delivering Marsh’s risk advisory and insurance placement strategies to mining clients on a global basis.
