Willis Towers Watson as one of the leading global groups for risk management, insurance brokerage, reinsurance and business consulting has started its operations in Croatia this November through the company Willis Towers Watson JSC, reported the company on the 21st of November.

The direct entry of the Willis Towers Watson company in Croatia is a result of the $18 billion merger of the Towers Watson company and Willis Group Holdings at the global level earlier this year. The latter has already developed operations in Croatia through its network of branches.

Willis Towers Watson emphasizes that they have ''big plans for Croatia'', even though they are currently most focused on insurance and reinsurance brokerage. In the near future they plan to develop other segments of their offer.

Marko Stajduhar, the CEO of the Gras Savoye Croatia JSC (the Willis Towers Watson Group member company) says that the Willis Towers Watson Group generates added value in the development of the domestic market intermediation insurance services as well as in the entire insurance industry.

‘’Our goal is to reduce business risk for our clients and to make them more competitive. On the other side, through access to our global network we create new possibilities for our domestic insurance companies for development of new creative products and offer them the possibility of reinsurance’’, said Stajduhar. He also added that the Croatian market would be directly provided with solutions by the Willis Towers Watson Group to all segments of the business consulting related to risk management including consultancy in human resources management.

Willis Towers Watson is a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company that helps clients around the world turn risk into a path for growth. It employs more than 39,000 people in more than 120 world countries, whilst its annual turnover is more than $8,2 billion.
