Lumley Insurance has appointed David Hansen to the role of State Manager, Queensland.

He replaces Kerrie Challenor, who left the company in April.

Mr Hansen joins Lumley from Marsh, where he was Managing Principal, FINPRO. He has also held senior roles at Chubb Insurance, HIH and AMP.

He will also head the Lumley distribution team that services the NSW/Queensland region when he takes up the position in October.

As an insurance broker, Mr Hansen says he understands the everyday pressures and frustrations faced by brokers.

“In this role I want to ensure that Lumley Insurance is every insurance broker’s underwriter of choice.”
