Gordon Reid is joining Polo Managing Agency as Operational & New Business Manager to reinforce the company’s continued growth and deepening of its Lloyd’s market expertise.
In his new role, Reid will have operational and new business responsibilities, as well as support clients while acting as a central point of communication between Polo Managing Agency and Lloyd’s, the world’s oldest insurance and reinsurance marketplace.
The executive brings to the company over a decade of experience from Lloyd’s, where he was most recently Head of Account Management.
