William J. Garforth
William brings 10 years’ intensive experience across the UK and London insurance markets, specialising in complex and hard-to-place risks within real estate, construction and professional services. William began his career at Paterson Insurance Brokers in Leeds, helping Darren build and grow the firm in its early years, before relocating to London where he spent five years in the City as part of the founding team that established Ardonagh Group’s London head office. He developed strong relationships across the London and specialist markets, focusing on structuring insurance solutions for mid-market businesses with complex or unconventional exposures, particularly across real estate portfolios, construction and design & build risks, mid-large single projects, professional indemnity, management liability and cyber. Alongside his work on complex placements, William is also an adept fleet broker and has led the development of bespoke insurance schemes including the Leeds Property Association Insurance (LPA) Scheme and a Delivery Fleet Scheme for motorcycles.
Outside of work, William is an avid sports enthusiast and former player across rugby, football and cricket, and remains a keen golfer, albeit an unimpressive one (his words).
