History: JLT was formed in 1997 by the merger of Lloyd Thompson Group and Jardine Insurance Brokers (JIB). Lloyd Thompson was founded in 1981 and floated on the London Stock Exchange in October 1987.

From its origins as a specialist marine hull and energy broker, Lloyd Thompson grew rapidly into all classes of wholesale and reinsurance business and developed a strong London market presence.

JIB started life in the early 1970s covering wholesale, retail and reinsurance broking. It grew rapidly as the result of acquisitions and organic growth and was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1991.

JIB developed a strong presence in the Asia Pacific region and was also represented in continental Europe and the Americas.

Since February 1997, the group has continued to develop through organic growth and selective acquisitions.
