WTW has announced the hiring of Julien Bosc to the global specialty team within the firm's Insurance Consulting and Technology (ICT) arm. Bosc will assume the role of global specialty director and the move continue the expansion of WTW's global specialty team. He joins from Aon, where he spent 15 years in the strategy consulting side, leading the delivery of business strategy projects.

In addition, he will be based in London and report to Richard Clarkson, global market leader of WTW Global Specialty. His responsibilities will include developing solutions for specialty insurance worldwide to help (re)insurers grow their top line, improve profitability and reduce costs across their underwriting and other processes. Just in February 2024, WTW launched its Bermuda Excess Casualty Construction Facility to bolster the construction industry, specifically targeting the North American market.

This facility is designed to provide an additional $25 million - $50 million in excess capacity, with coverage starting at $10 million per occurrence. The advisory, broking and solutions company said that its new offering aims to streamline the insurance process for construction projects. By employing a simplified slip format, it is said to allow for a quicker transition from quote to policy, effectively reducing delays.

Underwriters at WTW are committed to responding to clients within a three-day time frame, offering swift access to necessary coverage.
