Marsh launches global mining practice

Coal mining by Strategic Natural Resources

Marsh has set up a new global practice to target mining organisations that want to pursue growth opportunities outside their home countries.

Marsh's new global mining practice aims to harnesses mining expertise, experience, and relationships to support companies as they are exposed to new and emerging exposures.

Andrew Chester, head of Marsh’s UK-based international insurance placement operations, has been appointed chairman of the new practice.

Mr Chester, based in London, has more than 20 years’ experience in the international mining and heavy industrial insurance industries.

"Our mining clients are increasingly becoming more global and as a result must address a host of new and emerging risks,” Mr Chester said. “Whether it’s challenges associated with flooding, political instability or compliance with local regulations, Marsh, under a single-practice approach, will be in a better position to provide global mining companies seamless advisory and transactional services to help meet their increasingly complex needs.”
