Bringing together recognised experts from across the group as well as new expertise from across the industry. Vanessa will lead a team of 19 professionals; her appointment is a testament to JLT’s ongoing focus on client’s needs. Under her leadership this team creates a very exciting proposition.”
JLT Fac will be focused on property, construction and casualty reinsurance. Oil & Gas onshore and offshore facultative will continue to be handled by existing dedicated teams within the JLT Group.
