He was previously US chief operating officer for Lockton.

Lockton group chief executive John Lumelleau said: “These gentlemen are three outstanding leaders who have played key roles in Lockton’s organic growth during the past decade.

“In their new roles Glenn, Neil, and Mike will lead the continuing expansion of our business for our clients and Associates around the world.”

Lockton chairman David Lockton added: “We are fortunate to have a strong, dedicated group of leaders within Lockton. These new responsibilities are another step in our long-term planning to keep Lockton growing and thriving for the future.”
