Lloyd's broker Oneglobal continues international expansion in Singapore

Specialist independent Lloyd's broker and delegated authority expert Oneglobal Broking, has received in-principle approval to open an office in Singapore.

Oneglobal Broking Singapore will be led by David Lum as chairman and Sirikit Oh as chief executive officer (CEO). Lum will report to Jonathan Palmer Brown, chairman of Oneglobal, and Oh will report to Mike Reynolds, CEO of Oneglobal.

Lum is a broker leader in Singapore and across Asia, while Oh has more than 20 years of experience, latterly at Willis Towers Watson, where she was Asia head of the technology, media and telecommunications practice, having previously held senior regional broking roles at Marsh and Aon.

Oneglobal said its strategy is to build out its operations in Asia, of which the establishment of a Singapore company is a key element and follows the opening of Hong Kong in August this year, with further offices and senior broker hires to follow.

Palmer-Brown said: “I am pleased that we are extending our capabilities in Asia with the addition of a pivotal office in Singapore. I have worked with David Lum and Sirikit Oh for many years and been impressed with their absolute focus on the needs of clients, understanding of the marketplace and dedication to delivering results. They are an unbeatable leadership team who will shortly be joined by other senior brokers in Singapore and across Asia that share Oneglobal’s commitment to growing our business by delivering the service quality that our clients deserve.”

Lum commented: “Oneglobal is an exciting international broker with the ambition not just to grow but to deliver for clients. I have dedicated more than three decades to serving clients and offering them an end to end service. Oneglobal shares this approach and I am delighted that clients in Singapore and across Asia will have the choice of Oneglobal as an outstanding alternative to the existing market players.”

Oh added: “I’m excited and proud to lead Oneglobal in Singapore. My team has a clear focus to deliver best-in-class insurance broking and risk consulting services to our clients, which we are confident will exceed their expectations. Oneglobal will reinvigorate the broking experience and provide the highest levels of expertise and service that our clients expect and deserve. We will make a difference, our clients will feel that difference, and I am confident of success.”
