Katharine Moxham is the spokesperson for Group Risk Development (GRiD), a position she’s held exclusively since May 2009. Katharine regularly contributes to industry and business publications and debate and has actively raised the profile of the group risk industry with the media and business organisations.

Prior to joining GRiD, she built a profile as a pioneering force in the evolution of UK group risk working for Towers Perrin, Aon Consulting and JLT Benefit Solutions, where she was Consulting Director of the Health & Risk practice.  This broad-based industry expertise makes Katharine ideally placed for her role as an industry commentator on issues affecting the group risk market.

As Group Risk (employer-sponsored life assurance, income protection and critical illness) is seen as increasingly integral to employee benefits packages, supporting a preventative and holistic approach to physical and mental health and wellbeing, Katharine works to improve understanding among employers about its benefits.

As products are continually developed they’re no longer just seen as the domain of large corporates but SMEs too, enabling all businesses to support staff by providing a financial lifeline to employees and their families, as well as emotional and other extra support where needed. Each year thousands of families are helped via group risk products.
