McLarens recruits new head of ROI business to strengthen operations in the region

McLarens, the global loss adjuster specialising in complex, commercial and niche markets, has appointed Glenn Goggin to head up its operation in the Republic of Ireland. As managing director of McLarens Ireland, Goggin will work with the existing in-country senior management team, taking the lead on strategic growth, client services and business development, and reporting into UK & Ireland MD, Steven Wallace.

The newly formed role will strengthen operations at a regional level and reflects the growth of McLarens’ business in the Republic of Ireland, which now comprises a team of 20 working across offices in Cork, Dublin and Galway. The team will continue to work in tandem with McLarens’ Northern Ireland team, offering comprehensive technical adjusting expertise and a seamless cross-border service.

Goggin has over 30 years’ experience working within the Irish market, at a senior level within regional, national and international adjusting firms, most recently as head of Casualty at Sedgwick Ireland. With expertise drawn from across the property, liability and commercial claims spectrum, he holds a specific interest in psychiatric injury claims. His appointment forms part of McLarens’ ongoing investment in the Republic of Ireland, laying the groundwork for continued expansion, while also supporting the business’ Brexit proofing strategy, with McLarens establishing a separate Irish entity in line with these developments.

Steven Wallace, UK & Ireland managing director, McLarens said: “We’ve made excellent progress across the UK and Ireland, and as we evolve it is important that we continue to adapt and shape the business to ensure that we are operationally aligned to maintain this momentum and continue delivering the highest standard for our clients. Glenn’s appointment will further consolidate McLarens’ footprint in the Republic of Ireland and provide a strong platform for future growth as we enter into the next phase of our development. We’re delighted to have him on board!”

Glenn Goggin added: “McLarens’ Irish business has grown from strength to strength, both in terms of its geographical footprint and service offering. I’m delighted to take on this role and greatly honoured to lead this team. We look forward to increasing our service offering in Ireland whilst maintaining our key principles of high quality and top-class technical ability. Exciting times ahead for the adjusting profession in Ireland.”
