Peter is the founder and CEO of Hillman Associates and heads the executive search and selection function of the business. With over 40 years’ experience in the insurance sector, Peter has developed an impressive network of contacts, enabling him to continue to place senior individuals and teams into new positions.

Identifying a gap in the insurance recruitment sector for genuinely bespoke, end-to-end senior executive appointments, coupled with employment advisory services, Peter established PH Insurance Recruitment in April 2012. Building on the success of PH Insurance Recruitment and to reflect the launch of its new (re)insurance returnship initiative in 2025, the business was rebranded as Hillman Associates. The business today represents a select number of clients and assists top-quality candidates to find new opportunities.

Previously, Peter was a founding partner of insurance and financial services recruitment consultants, Hillman Saunders, where he built a successful and well-regarded business employing over 50 staff in London and Manchester. Prior to this, he was a London market insurance recruiter and began his career in London, working for a prominent insurance broker specialising in North American wholesale business.
