Torus has announced the appointment of Tim Fillingham as the UK chief operating officer (COO) for Torus UK.

His new role will involve ensuring superior service delivery to clients and brokers accessing the London and UK markets and leading relationship management with UK-based brokers. In addition, Mr. Fillingham will retain global responsibility for all marketing and corporate communications activities - part of his previous role as Torus' chief marketing officer.

Mr. Fillingham will reports to European COO Dermot O'Donohoe and to global COO Naveen Anand.

Mr. Fillingham said: "We have ambitious strategic goals for Torus and therefore need to stay close to the local markets to ensure that we offer the level of service that buyers and brokers require, whilst developing our business profitably. Having previously been within the brokerage community, I am acutely aware of the importance of delivering consistently high levels of performance."

Clive Tobin, Torus' chief executive said: "Superior service is key to developing the long-term relationships with clients and their brokers that will underpin our success. We are fortunate to be able to call on Tim's expertise and experience in this area to direct our initiatives in the London and UK markets."
