National Transport Insurance (NTI) has appointed former Arthur J Gallagher Perth branch manager Peter Marchant to replace Bruce McAleese as State Manager WA from next Monday.

Mr McAleese has been appointed State Sales Manager WA, a role NTI says is “instrumental” to expanding its presence in the state.

Mr Marchant has also been a business development principal for Marsh and led various teams at Suncorp.

“NTI is committed to providing local delivery and expertise to the market to ensure we maintain our leadership position,” GM Sales & Distribution Mike Edmonds said.

“The appointment of Peter supports this commitment and is one we are very excited about.”
