In his new position, Gorman will focus on building out Miller’s wholesale offering to brokers across the UK, the Republic of Ireland and Australia, as well as territories that require the assistance of a London based broker for specialist products.

“Scott has deep experience within the PI market and will be a significant asset to the team as we continue to bolster both our retail and wholesale offering,” commented Tim Jackson, head of PI Major Risks, at Miller.
