LONDON – JANUARY 2025: Global claims services provider McLarens has promoted Gavin Jackson to Head of Lloyd’s & London Market. Reporting to Chief Commercial Officer Graham Smart, Gavin assumes leadership responsibilities previously held by David Pigot, Director – London Markets, who retired last year.
Gavin will lead a team responsible for developing McLarens’ long-established reputation in the London market. He will focus on expanding the business’s claims solutions by driving growth in the delegated claims authority sector and across McLarens’ specialty divisions, including aviation, construction and engineering, crisis management, marine, natural resources, and FAJ & Specie.
This appointment is part of McLarens’ broader strategy to strengthen its Lloyd’s & London footprint, which has recently included the appointment of Alistair Jacob as Head of London International. Gavin will work closely with Alistair and the wider London International adjusting team to deliver exceptional service to clients in the global insurance hub.
Gavin has 14 years of experience in loss adjusting and claims management. Since 2015, he has held an account management role dedicated to Lloyd’s and the London market. Known for fostering strong client relationships with insurers, reinsurers, syndicates, MGAs, and brokers, he has been a key figure in ensuring seamless communication across McLarens’ global network.
Graham Smart, Chief Commercial Officer, McLarens, commented: “I am delighted to announce Gavin’s promotion, which is a natural evolution and is very well deserved. The strength and depth of his connectivity within the industry are astonishing, and he is renowned for finding solutions to the most challenging of situations. He is relied on by many as a gateway to our global business, and I have no doubt that he will be a huge success in this new role.”
Gavin Jackson, Head of Lloyd’s & London Market at McLarens, added: “I am honoured to take on this role to help steer McLarens toward continued success within the Lloyd’s and London insurance markets. January 2025 marks my fifth year with the business, during which time I’ve witnessed the strength and continued growth of our regional and specialty lines operations, including third-party administration services.”
“I look forward to enhancing client engagement with our teams, supporting thought leadership and learning and development initiatives, and establishing trusted partnership status with all of our London-based clients.”
