Gallagher names Nick Burns CEO of employee benefits consulting division in UK

Insurance brokerage and risk management firm Arthur J Gallagher has named Nick Burns as new chief executive officer (CEO) of its employee benefits consulting division in the UK.

Prior to joining Gallagher, Burns was the CEO of PIFC Group, Bluefin Corporate Consulting and Capita Employee Solutions. More recently, he has operated in the non-executive advisory space as an advisor and mentor for small to medium enterprises and start-ups in the employee benefits and creative technology sectors.

Gallagher said its employee benefits consulting division in the UK has experienced "transformational growth" over recent years, and has grown to become a full-lifecycle consultancy.

Leslie Lemenager, president, international, for Gallagher’s employee benefits consulting and brokerage said: “Nick brings a breadth of experience to Gallagher. His leadership, direction and vision will help take the UK team’s strong foundation to a new level becoming a more agile, client-centric business, enabling us to continue to expand our client service capabilities across the UK.”

Burns commented: “I’m thrilled to join the Gallagher UK team. I will be working with some of the most talented consulting professionals in the country; and know that, together, we can help companies across the U.K. and around the globe design and deliver a better workplace experience for their people.”
