Your world as one
Welcome to the world’s best connected network
WBN doesn’t work like a corporately owned global network. We are a global network, made up of leading local firms who have skin in the game of your success. Your business really does matter here, and your needs are always a priority.
Our HQ team is hugely experienced and highly effective, providing members and clients with the support, connections and resources they need.
We have a rotating board of directors, made up leading brokers from each region to ensure that all global matters are on our radar.
Participants in Catalyst gain access to leadership coaching, collaborative global projects, and opportunities to build lasting international relationships.
Graduates of the Catalyst program are invited to a mentorship program, pairing them with Board members for personalized guidance.
Catalyst helps the broking and consulting firms in our network retain their top talent. That ensures our clients benefit from a consistent, high-quality service.
The Catalyst program promotes inclusivity and ensures future leaders reflect the society we serve, strengthening the network for years to come.
As a member-owned network of 150+ leading insurance broking and employee benefits firms across 100+ countries, our structure ensures exceptional service quality and responsiveness.

WBN is a member-owned network, which means our member firms have a direct stake in maintaining the highest service standards. This ownership structure ensures that our members are fully committed to collaboration, quality service, and putting clients first. It's a key differentiator that drives our responsive, client-centric approach.
Our quality assurance approach is multi-faceted:
Member firms are carefully selected as leaders in their local markets.
Each member is reviewed annually by the other members they do business with.
Our proprietary technology platforms ensure transparency and visibility.
We have standardized processes across our global network.

Yes. We offer choice of partners in major markets, allowing you to select the firms that best match your needs. Your lead advisor will help you evaluate and select the most appropriate partners from our network of market-leading firms, ensuring the best fit for your specific requirements and local market conditions.
We have a clear process to ensure continuity of service:
Our network members are continuously evaluated based on quality of service and their commitment to our membership requirements.
If an acquisition occurs, your service continuity is our top priority - we don't require you to move your business.
After any acquisition, we evaluate the whether the acquired member is still suitable as a network member.
If needed, we can seamlessly transition your program to another high-quality member firm in our network.
