Martin Kessler is pleased with the transition: „Over the last years, Tom and Christian have actively participated in the management of the company. We are convinced they are perfectly well prepared for taking over the lead of the firm. The shift to the next generation is now essentially completed. Robert and I will maintain our activities for clients and in business development, and stay committed as members of the Board of Directors.“

Robert Kessler adds: „Kessler is a successful enterprise. We wanted to handover the firm at a time when we could support our sons with full forces. The same way our father did it with us in 1986. Martin and I are delighted to see our sons following our footsteps and carrying on with the family enterprise.“

Marsh continues to hold 25% of the company‘s shares, and is represented in the Board of Directors by Siegmund Fahrig, CEO Continental Europe.
