Meanwhile, Arthur J Gallagher International chief executive David Ross, finance director Keith Barton and chief risk officer Sarah Dalgarmo have been appointed directors.

A Heath Lambert spokesman said a formal structure for the combined Gallagher International/Heath Lambert entity has yet to be announced.
