At a time when many companies have halted their hiring in the face of the coronavirus lockdown, brokerage giant Gallagher has swooped for two new faces at its Liverpool office.
The Sefton Street location now houses close to 60 risk management and insurance specialists after two new additions. Arriving to bolster the line-up is Garry Roberts, who joins as a corporate broker with more than 30 years’ experience, as well as Corinne Daniels, who will drive growth in the financial lines arena with 13 years behind her.
Roberts will now support and advise corporate clients, which include some of the most prominent businesses in the North West. Meanwhile, Daniels will take on new business development alongside managing existing key relationships.
According to regional managing director Stephen Penketh, of the Gallagher retail division, the moves build on Gallagher’s well-established presence across the North West – it also has offices in Chester, Sale, Manchester and Lytham St Annes.
“Liverpool offers a thriving and diverse business community, with a strong manufacturing sector, as well as other industries including professional services, health and life sciences, and tourism,” he said.
“With good progress being made to deliver sustainable economic growth in the Liverpool city region by the Liverpool Economic Partnership (LEP), we’re seeing a growing number of prominent businesses investing in the region. It’s now more important than ever that we are equipped with a first-class team of industry specialists to support our expanding client base in Liverpool and the wider region to identify and manage the specific risks they are faced with.”
