Marsh has advised the name of a second employee who died in the Christchurch earthquake.

The company says Barry Craig was working in the Pyne Gould Corporation building at the time of the earthquake.

Marsh NZ Country Head Grant Milne says Mr Craig worked in the Christchurch office for 12 years and was a much loved and valued colleague.

“Barry’s death following this tragic event is a terrible loss for everyone”, he said. “Our condolences go out to Barry’s family at this very sad time.”

Marsh employee Carey Bird, 48, was also killed in the building’s collapse.
