Gallagher has named Dave Partington to the role of CEO of the company’s Canadian retail P&C brokerage operations.

Partington first joined Gallagher in 2012, as leader of the regional offices of Gallagher Heath in the UK. He later relocated to the US in 2014 to serve as president of Gallagher’s small business practice for retail P&C brokerage operations. In that role, he doubled the practice’s revenue, helped develop a sales and service infrastructure, oversaw multiple mergers, and enhanced market relationships.

Before joining Gallagher, Partington held leadership positions with two other large brokerages.

"Dave is an industry leader and, with the significant growth we have seen across Canada in the last few years, there is nobody better positioned than him to lead the Canadian retail P&C brokerage operations," said Gallagher Canada, Caribbean, and South America chairman Patrick M. Gallagher.

In a statement, Partington commented that he is looking forward to his new role with Gallagher.

“With a strong leadership team already in place coupled with tremendous growth opportunities, it is a very exciting time for Gallagher in Canada,” Partington added.
