“I’m delighted to welcome both our new colleagues from Alliant and, as importantly, their clients who we will be extremely well placed to service in what is an increasingly complex and global market place.’’
Executive vice-president of JLT USA John Parsley said: “We are delighted to join an organisation that shares our values and focus on clients. Together, we now have the global platform and market presence to strengthen our client offering and to attract the best people as we continue to create what we believe will become the market-leading specialty energy team.”
