The London & International Insurance Brokers’ Association (LIIBA) has appointed Gina Butterworth, Chief Operating Officer of Gallagher Re UK, Margarita Hutley, Director, Iris Insurance Brokers, and Holly Shepherd, Managing Director of Shepherd Compello to its Board.
Christopher Croft, LIIBA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Gina, Margarita and Holly are very welcomes additions to our board. Not only do they possess a tremendous range of experience of the London market and broking generally, but they’ll also be able to provide insights in their particular specialisms that will inform our policy- and decision-making.
“With around 80% of our member businesses having fewer than 50 staff, Margarita’s and Holly’s expertise in this segment of the broking community is particularly valuable. Equally reinsurance is a significant part of the service our members deliver to their clients and Gina will ensure it is properly considered in our deliberations.”
Butterworth will represent reinsurance brokers, while Margarita Hutley and Holly Shepherd take newly created board positions representing smaller broking firms.
Shepherd added, “I am delighted to be sitting on the LIIBA board. Contributing to change and innovation in the industry by ensuring we operate in a diverse and impactful environment is something that makes me excited for the future and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.”
LIIBA’s board has 21 members drawn from insurance brokers trading within the London insurance market.
