Company history:
In 1927 when Arthur J Gallagher & Co was launched, few people took note of the event.

By 1998, Gallagher's international presence expanded to include more than 200 sales and service offices in the US and six other countries, as well as corresponding brokers in almost 100 countries.

As Lloyd's brokers, Arthur J Gallagher & Co (UK) works in specialised, compact teams that offer a high level of personal service to its clients. Operating through its subsidiary companies, its services cover the insurance requirements of every aspect of industrial and commercial insurances.
