In his new London-based role, he will lead and further develop new strategies to ensure life insurers have access to bespoke products and services that reflect their individual needs, as the sector continues to face a volatile risk environment, exacerbated by regulatory change, a modest global growth outlook and persistently low interest rates.

Commenting on his appointment, Forrest said: “I am excited to be joining Willis Towers Watson’s UK Life team, which already has a strong base and is highly regarded throughout the industry. The life insurance landscape is evolving rapidly and I look forward to working with our clients to help them adapt, re-shape their businesses and identify opportunities for profitable growth during these challenging times.”
