Broker unites Heath Lambert and Gallagher EB units under one name

Broker Gallagher International has launched a new UK employee benefits brand – Gallagher Employee Benefits (GEB).

The new brand applies to the company’s two UK employee benefits businesses – Heath Lambert Employee Benefits and Gallagher Risk & Reward.

The divisions are run by Michael Brown and Tim Johnson, respectively.

Gallagher International acquired fellow UK broking group Heath Lambert in May this year.

“The coming together of the two businesses under a common brand will strengthen and underpin our business, giving us significant additional firepower and resources with which to deliver genuine value to the bottom line for our clients while broadening our range of expertise and professional solutions to UK businesses,” Brown said in a statement.

Johnson added: “The creation of a core brand marks the beginning of a new era for the Gallagher employee benefits business in the UK, which we know will be synonymous with excellence in both client service and market expertise.”
