Gallagher Re has announced the appointment of Richard Sammons as the new head of aerospace for its UK business, effective January 2024.
Sammons, with a background spanning 25 years in broking and underwriting, transitions from his role as head of specialty at Hamilton Re in Bermuda, a position he held for a decade.

“We are delighted that Richard has agreed to join us as we continue to build out the strength and depth of talent that we have in the UK business. With more than 25 years of industry experience Richard brings outstanding leadership skills, coupled with a deep understanding of the aerospace industry that will enable him to further build on our existing success,” Gallagher Re UK CEO Ian Kerton said.
