Marsh appoints Newcastle boss

Marsh has appointed Richard Lloyd as head of its national corporate business in Carlisle and Newcastle.

Lloyd returns to the North to assume overall responsibility for the development of Marsh’s insurance broking and risk advisory service.

He succeeds Allan McPherson, who is now Marsh’s UK national corporate sales leader.

Lloyd has worked for Marsh for two years and joins from the firm’s Manchester office.

Paul Fairhurst, leader of Marsh’s northern region, said: “More and more organisations, both in the public and private sectors, are realising the value that robust risk management and insurance provision can deliver, in terms of enhanced corporate governance, regulatory compliance and efficiency savings.

"Richard will play a pivotal role in assisting Marsh’s clients in the North of England develop their risk and insurance strategies and contribute to their continued success.”
