JLT Re, the global provider of reinsurance broking and consultancy, continues to develop and diversify its Programmes and Binding Authority Division in response to client requirements and demand.

Neill Cotton, who joined JLT Re to lead the Division late last year, said, 'When I joined JLT Re last year the division had a strong property focus and tended to specialise in a limited number of other product lines.. We are now working to diversify and develop the team both from within and with a number of key hires.'

Mark Sleet has joined from Miller where he specialised in Casualty business; Mark has been appointed as a Partner and will be focused on General Casualty. Lee Collins has joined from Oxford Insurance Brokers Ltd where he was a Director and has been appointed as Partner. Adrian Steele will be joining the JLT Re team from Oxford Insurance Brokers Ltd in August 2015. Both Lee and Adrian will be focusing on Specialty and Professional Lines.

Commenting on these appointments, Keith Harrison, CEO, UK & Europe, JLT Re said, 'These are all great hires and exemplify our drive to focus on clients by building JLT Re around knowledge and insight, creating a full service offering in our Programmes & Binding Authorities division. They bring a vast array of skills, experience and knowledge which will benefit both their division and the rest of JLT Re.'
