The London-based firm has revealed the appointment of Richard Sammons as the new Head of Aerospace for its UK business, effective January 2024. As part of the move, Mark Hudson is also set to transition to the role of Chairman of Aerospace within Gallagher Re, acc
Sammons holds an extensive 25-year background in broking and underwriting, and is set to arrive from his previous tenure as the Head of Specialty at Hamilton Re in Bermuda, where he served for a decade.
