Commenting on his return to Lockton, Chapman said: “As Lockton’s exponential growth story continues, prioritising client relationships and Lockton’s fierce commitment to service remains constant. Combined with the entrepreneurial spirit that is fostered right throughout the organisation, I knew there was no better company to join if I wanted to make a difference.”
The leadership at Lockton voiced strong support for Chapman’s return, emphasising his comprehensive experience in the industry, his vast network, and his commitment to client satisfaction as key factors that will contribute to the firm’s continued success.

Dan will play a leading role in ensuring Lockton continues to raise the bar for client service and set the gold standard for genuine specialist advice. I am delighted to welcome him back to Lockton,” said Lockton Australia CEO Paul Marsden. “He brings a wealth of unmatched experience and a network of connections cultivated over a 20-year career. Dan is greatly admired as a client-first advocate and is a respected figure in the industry with a proven reputation for consistently delivering exceptional results for clients.”
