Lockton has announced two new appointments as it marks the launch of its Adelaide office.

Matthew Linke and Andrew Thornton will join as client directors in Adelaide, reporting to Lockton industry specialties GM Ian Maybury.

Lockton Pacific CEO Paul Marsden says the appointments respond to a need for specialised expertise in the state, noting the pair's experience across various industries.  

“As we continue to raise the bar on service levels offered, it is paramount that we have local, specialist-led risk and insurance capabilities across all capital cities, allowing Lockton to be a truly national broker,” Mr Marsden said.  

“The appointment of Andrew and Matthew, who bring deep industry and regional expertise, will ensure we continue to deliver exceptional service to current local clients, with direct access to on-the-ground specialists.”   

Mr Marsden says opening an Adelaide office reflects the broker’s “commitment to local growth and elevated service for our clients across all regions.”  

“Our office in Adelaide marks the inception of our SA growth strategy, which bolsters our existing workers’ compensation claims and injury management consulting expertise in the region.   

“This is just chapter one of our recruitment drive, and we’ll continue to invest in talented people who share our client-first values.”  

Lockton’s Adelaide office is at Suite 603, 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide, SA, 5000.
