Gallagher appoints John Thompson as CEO of UK specialty and wholesale
Broker Gallagher has appointed John Thompson as chief executive officer (CEO) of the UK’s specialty London market and wholesale businesses.
Thompson has held the position on an interim basis since September 2018. He joined the business in 2014 as managing partner for construction, and in 2017 his role expanded to include responsibility for the energy division.
In his new role, Thompson is responsible for overseeing all London Market specialty operations and work with the business’ divisional directors to further build out the company’s specialty offering and specialist broking teams.
Thompson will assume UK executive committee level responsibility for both the Gallagher London market specialist broking business and the separate Alesco wholesale business.
Simon Matson, CEO of Gallagher’s UK broking and underwriting business, said: “John is an outstanding broker, exceptional people leader and operates with absolute integrity at all times, all of which make him the perfect candidate for this role. We have an enviable London Market specialty offering and under John’s leadership I know our teams will continue to grow and achieve even bigger and better things in the future.”
Thompson commented: “There is no area of risk management that our specialist broking teams cannot advise on for any client, anywhere in the world and that is a fact I am incredibly proud of. It is a real point of difference for our business and I look forward to working with our exceptional leaders and brokers as we continue to grow our capabilities and become the risk partner of choice for expert advice that will help our clients face their future with confidence.”
