Jardine stated he was “delighted to serve as Deputy Chairman of Lloyd’s, an institution that has emerged from the economic crisis in a strong position. We still face a variety of challenges, including a competitive marketplace and new regulatory regimes, and I look forward to playing a role in reinforcing Lloyd’s position as the world’s leading insurance market.”

Lloyd’s noted that Gilmour “has been Deputy Chairman since February 2006 and will remain on the Council as a working member.

Lord Levene, Lloyd’s Chairman, thanked Gilmour for “his hard work and contribution as Deputy Chairman,” and indicated he was “pleased that he will continue to serve on the Council. Paul has substantial experience in the industry and I look forward to working with him.”
