Kathryn Moon, who came onboard Gallagher in 2013, has become the company’s sales director of the North.
The former managing director of the Coventry office will now be in charge of defining and implementing the business development agenda for the Midlands and North regions of England as well as Scotland and Northern Ireland. Gallagher said the promotion comes following a period of expansion for the broker’s regional branch network.
Commenting on the internal hire, Peter Matthews – managing director of the North at Gallagher’s UK retail division – noted: “Kathryn’s appointment is a key milestone in helping us achieve both organic and inorganic growth in the Midlands, northern England, and Scotland.
“Ensuring that we nurture and promote the talent, ambition, and success of our people is a vital part of our long-term growth strategy. Kathryn’s commercial acumen, as well as her extensive knowledge and industry experience, makes her a natural choice for this role, and we are delighted that she will continue to contribute to the division’s success in this new leadership position.”
Moon is a long-time alumnus of Oval, a company previously acquired by Gallagher. She brings more than two decades of insurance experience to her new role.
“Having been part of Gallagher for a number of years, I’m delighted to be leading the sales drive in the North, building on the growth that the division has seen in the past few years,” commented the sales director.
“I look forward to working with the wider team to identify new opportunities and review our current offering to clients, as we look to win new business.”
