Amanda Harton (pictured) has been appointed as chief executive and director of Lockton Insurance Brokers (Ireland) Limited (LIBI).
The new CEO joins Lockton’s Irish business from Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT) where she served as executive director. The 10-year JLT veteran brings more than two decades of industry experience to LIBI, which will further expand its offering to corporate clients with an increased focus on sectors such as manufacturing, construction, and not-for-profit.
“Joining Lockton is a very exciting opportunity and as a global independent company, we are building something very special,” said Harton, whose appointment is part of a significant investment in the Dublin office with new recruits arriving over the past few months and additional hires to come.
“Our culture, structure, and independence afford us the opportunity to provide a leading associate-focused workplace. I’m delighted to join a fantastic team who will continue to deliver excellence to our Irish clients in the coming months and years.”
Harton’s credentials also include time spent at BHP Insurance, Marsh, and Frank Glennon Ltd.
“We are delighted to appoint Amanda as CEO of our Dublin office,” commented Lockton partner and Belfast office head Gary Ennis.
“With her market experience and expertise, combined with our international teams based in the UK, Europe, and the US, she will bring substantial opportunity and growth to our Irish business.”
