Steve Lardner, former Chief Broking Officer and Director of Broking Operations at Aon, has been appointed as a strategic consultant to Catlin Australia.

Catlin Australia director Andrew Case says Mr Lardner’s “vast experience and counsel will be invaluable as we continue to build our presence and product offering in the Australian market”.

Mr Lardner, a former NIBA President, retired from Aon earlier this month after 21 years’ service.

Catlin declined to reveal further details of the work Mr Lardner will undertake for it.
