Life Sciences Week has announced Willis (WTW), as a strategic partner and sponsor for its 2026 programme, bringing specialist insurance, risk-management and advisory expertise to the UK's life sciences community. Willis supports organisations across life sciences, biotechnology and healthcare to understand and manage complex risks. Through the partnership, its specialists will connect with the researchers, founders, business leaders and investors shaping the sector's future. Life Sciences Week event: From lab to market: Managing clinical trials risk with confidence As part of Life Sciences Week, Willis (WTW) will host a discussion on Tuesday 22 September, from 09:00 to 10:00, exploring the risks affecting clinical trials today. The panel will bring together a representative from a clinical trial sponsor, an insurer and specialists from Willis (WTW) to discuss common risks and how they can be managed. The discussion will look at why trials run late or over budget, common insurance and liability issues, and what organisations can do to avoid problems. The session will end with a live Q&A with the panel. Willis will also have an exhibitor presence throughout the Life Sciences Week Launch Day Conference at Millennium Point, Birmingham, on Monday 21 September, and will contribute to a panel discussion. The wider partnership will include thought-leadership content developed for the Life Sciences Week audience.

Amy Deakin, Managing Director of Life Sciences Week, said: "Life sciences businesses have to manage risk from the earliest stages of research through to taking a product to market. Whether a founder is preparing for due diligence or a sponsor is running a clinical trial, getting good advice early can help prevent delays, unexpected costs and avoidable problems. "Willis (WTW) understands the insurance and risk issues facing the sector. At the Launch Day Conference and its clinical-trials session, the team will share straightforward advice that attendees can use in their own organisations." Sara Fardon, Regional Director, WTW Midlands, said: "Clinical trials are complex, and problems can quickly lead to delays, additional costs or legal issues. Organisations need a clear understanding of where problems are most likely to arise and what they can do to reduce the risk. "We're looking forward to meeting people from across the sector at Life Sciences Week, sharing our experience and starting conversations that continue beyond the event."

Peter Murphy confirmed as COO at Howden. Peter Murphy has been appointed as chief operating officer of Howden Employee Benefits. Murphy has served as Chief Operating Officer of Howden's Employee Benefits division for the past six years. His remit now extends across the enlarged UK business of 2,600 colleagues, bringing together Howden's existing Employee Benefits team with colleagues from its recent acquisitions including Barnett Waddingham, the employee benefits consultancy arm of Evelyn Partners and Hymans Robertson's Insurance and Financial Services Consulting Team.

Glenn Thomas, head of Howden Health & Employee Benefits, says: "Employee benefits is one of the fastest growing parts of Howden, and in the UK, Corporate Adviser has built a business that can compete with anyone. Peter has been central to that. Asking him to take on the combined business reflects both the scale of what Corporate Adviser has created and its confidence in him to run it. "We have deliberately built out the senior leadership team over the past year to match that ambition, bringing in real strength and hard-won experience from outside our sector as well as within it." Murphy's appointment follows a series of senior leadership appointments to the HEB senior leadership team over the past year.
