Mr South received the award in recognition of his leadership in transforming Marsh UK, including the successful acquisition of HSBC Insurance Brokers.
The Reactions London Market Awards recognise the achievements of the best insurance, reinsurance and broking teams in the London insurance market, as well as the efforts of service providers and outstanding individual contributions to the industry.
Mr South said: “This award belongs to all my colleagues in Marsh UK. Our business has undergone a significant period of transition, resulting in greatly improved profitability and revenue growth. Our acquisition of HSBC Insurance Brokers earlier this year is further testament to our determination to serve our clients with the very best products and solutions tailored to their particular needs.
