A global provider of insurance, reinsurance, and employee benefits-related advice and associated services has strengthened its corporate risk expertise with the appointment of a respected broker and industry leader to its team.

Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group (JLT) has appointed Paul French as state executive for Queensland. He will commence in the role in October 2017. French will be responsible for supporting the continued success of the corporate risk team with a focus on the Far North Queensland business.

“I am looking forward to be part of a strong and continually growing organisation such as JLT,” French said. “Queensland is a dynamic business environment, with so many positives to be harnessed, and it’s these unique opportunities which will allow me to continue to build JLT’s strong local foot print in this area. I’m excited about the new opportunities ahead.”
