Griffiths & Armour is pleased to announce that Paul Berg has been appointed as Managing Director of our Professional Risks Division.
Paul began his insurance career at Griffiths & Armour in 1990. He has developed a varied practice of professional clients across our core market segments of construction, legal and financial services, and became a Partner in the firm in 2011. Over many years, Paul has led our development, marketing and communications strategies and has been instrumental in positioning Griffiths & Armour as a leading Professional Indemnity insurance advisor and trusted advocate for the construction professions.

Paul will continue to lead the broking, claims and risk management teams who support Griffiths & Armour’s broad spectrum of professional firms, institutions and associations and continue to support the next generation development of our IT, marketing and communications initiatives.
