JMG Group appoints risk management director

Insurance and risk management group JMG Group has strengthened its senior team with the appointment of Carl Currie as regional managing director of its risk management proposition.

Based at the group’s Lighthouse business in Leeds, Carl brings 20 years’ experience in business operations and risk management.

He previously helped grow a business from five employees to more than 100, developing its people, systems and services to support expansion.

In his new role, Carl will work alongside Lighthouse managing director Mary-ann Rorks-Barnard and commercial director Gwyn Evans to identify opportunities across JMG’s growing network.

Carl said: “The opportunity to join a growing group while using my operational experience to help shape its next stage was a major attraction. 

“JMG is on a real growth trajectory, so there is a lot of opportunity here. 

“For me, it’s about building something that is sustainable, which JMG Group does well. 

“I am here to support the leaders, to sit next to them and help them get the best out of the team and the business. 

“We will continue to do what JMG is best known for which is to take care of clients and our people and making sure that vision in echoed by everybody within the team.”

Carl’s appointment comes as the group looks to bring together its existing risk management businesses, strengthening its health and safety, HR and employment law services.

The move forms part of JMG’s wider organic and acquisition-led growth strategy, with plans to expand the reach of its specialist services across the group and through strategic partnerships.

Jake Fox, chief executive of MGA, wholesale and speciality at JMG Group, added: “Carl’s appointment will help the group take its risk management offering to the next stage. 

“He’s an impressive individual and we are delighted to welcome him to the group. 

“He knows the market and understands the opportunities. 

“Combining this with his wealth of experience gives us tremendous foundations from which we can build. 

“His appointment is great news for JMG Group.”
