Mega-broker Marsh has appointed a new management team for its New Zealand operation. Emphasising the need for experience and knowledge, the New York-based company said the changes follow the retirement of NZ GM Bob Giboney.

Kirk Williams will take up the position of GM and Jon Bitcheno will become his deputy.

John Richardson, Chairman of Marsh New Zealand and Sydney-based region head for the South Pacific, said the appointments form part of Marsh’s strategy to provide an improved service to clients across the region.
