Gallagher Australia bolsters its corporate broking team

Gallagher Australia has welcomed two broking industry heavyweights to its corporate broking team.

Mark Richardson, former divisional manager at JLT, and Tony Shaw, former director at Marsh, have joined Gallagher’s Brisbane office, collaborating with colleagues and clients around Australia.

Richardson worked for 17 years at JLT, and before that had been associate director at Zuellig Insurance Brokers.

Shaw, meanwhile, joined Gallagher following a 23-year tenure at Marsh. He was a former Wallabies Rugby team captain, a recent Rugby Australia president, and a 2019 recipient of a Member of the Order of Australia, general division for his services to the sport.

“To have brokers of the calibre of Mark and Tony join an already strong team sends an extremely positive message to the market.” said Paul Harvey, Gallagher Australia managing director of specialisms. “Their significant expertise and passion for what they do, is very much aligned to the Gallagher way and helping our clients face their future with confidence.”
