Lockton hires marine expert from Gallagher

Insurance broker Lockton has hired a marine expert from Gallagher as its marine department manager and team leader based in New York City.

Anita Farmer has over 30 years of experience in the insurance industry, of which the last decade was spent at Gallagher where she was involved in account oversight, marketing, coverage negotiations, and production in the areas of marine cargo, stock throughput, motor truck cargo, warehousemen's legal and specialty risks. Farmer is also an associate member of American Institute of Marine Underwriters (AIUM).

In her new role, Farmer will help clients develop risk management strategies and structure, negotiate, and implement complex marine insurance programmes. She will also lead a team of marine insurance professionals.

"Both our clients and Associates will greatly benefit from Anita's expertise in marine insurance and specialized risk," said Chris DiLullo, executive vice president in Lockton's Northeast US operations. "With more than three decades in the marine business, Anita has fostered relationships that will greatly benefit our clients."
