Miller, the leading independent specialist (re)insurance broker, is today pleased to announce the appointment of Christopher Dines to the position of Head of Client Service within a new Real Estate team.

Based in London, Christopher begins his new role on 10 July and will be responsible for building out a dedicated global Real Estate offering, catering to both wholesale and direct client channels internationally. Christopher will report to Martin Henderson, Head of Energy at Miller, and work in close collaboration with Miller’s wider Construction team in establishing this new and complementary line of business. 

Christopher joins from Gallagher, where he worked for more than thirteen years, latterly as an Executive Director in its Real Estate team. Prior to this, he held a number of other senior and underwriting roles across the real estate insurance sector, including at HSBC, Willis Towers Watson, Aon and RSA. All in all, Christopher brings more than three decades of experience to his new role at Miller. 

Tim Norman, Managing Director at Miller UK, commented: “Christopher is an exceptionally experienced and highly regarded operator in the real estate insurance market, whose thirty years of sector specialism and deep subject-matter expertise equip him perfectly to lead the development of our new global Real Estate offering. We see Real Estate as both an exciting growth opportunity for Miller and as a natural addition to our wider Construction proposition, further enabling us to support the evolving needs of new and existing clients in London and internationally. Christopher will collaborate closely with the existing teams across these markets, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming him to Miller.”

Christopher Dines, Head of Client Service at Miller, added: “Miller’s commitment to service excellence, collaborative culture and continued investment in talent meant this was an extremely attractive opportunity to join an independent business that is determinedly building a market-leading, differentiated offering. I’m excited to be getting started, and building out a Real Estate proposition that can complement Miller’s leading position in Construction.”
