Former JLT employee to lead new business
R K Harrison has created a new Construction Division, and has appointed former Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT) employee, Mark Playle, as priniciple.
In a statement the company said the new division will offer a comprehensive service to project owners or contractors engaged in all types of construction projects around the world, ranging from power and process plants to building and civil engineering projects. As well as programmes tailored to specific projects, it said, the team will also look to handle annual placements across the breadth of their contractor clients' business.
Playle, who joined the company with effect from 1 January, will have a particular focus on business in the United Kingdom and Europe. He will serve alongside Darren Marshall as joint principle of the business.
With JLT, Playle was part of the company's Private Finance Initiative / Public Private Partnerships business, and was responsible for handling the annual accounts of European-domiciled contractors.
Marshall joined R K Harrison in December 2006, having begun his insurance broking career in the construction arena in 1994.
R K Harrison chief executive Paul Bridgwater said: "I’m delighted to welcome Mark to the R K Harrison team. He boasts an impressive career history and will certainly prove an asset to our rapidly expanding business.
"Under Mark and Darren’s expert guidance, I’m expecting our new Construction Division to grow from strength to strength".
