Lockton is expanding its claims offering under the leadership of former Gallagher claims chief Adam Squire.

“Claims is the promise that the industry sells, and Adam will be applying his 38 years of experience to Lockton,” a spokeswoman for the independent brokerage said.

“He will work with Lockton brokers and lead a growing team of experts that are there for clients when claims problems need solving.”

Mr Squire, based in Sydney, joined Lockton in the newly created head of claims role this month. He left Gallagher earlier this year after more than a decade.

Lockton is also advertising for a national claims manager.

“Exciting things are happening at Lockton,” Mr Squire wrote on LinkedIn. “We are building a claims proposition to support this high-growth business.”
