Lloyds, the specialist insurance market, appoints its first Nordic Area Manager.
Erik Brjesson will be based in Stockholm and will assist Lloyds syndicates and managing agents in building relationships with insurance buyers and intermediaries in the Nordic area, which also includes Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Brjesson has spent 16 years as an insurance broker, 12 of which were with Willis in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Before joining Lloyds, Erik was Senior Vice President, Head of Risk Management and Specialities at Marsh AB, Sweden. He graduated from Law School at the University of Uppsala and spent a year in Oslo at the Scandinavian Institute for Maritime Law studying maritime law, marine insurance and petroleum law.
I am very happy that Erik is joining us at Lloyds, says Jose Ribeiro, Lloyds director, international markets. He has extensive experience of insurance solutions in industrial, major accounts and public sector business lines. His extensive network of contacts throughout the Nordic area will, I am sure, help to provide new and exciting opportunities for Lloyds in this region.
Im very proud to have been appointed to this exciting new position, says Erik Brjesson. I believe Lloyds and its stakeholders have the potential to play an even more important role in the Nordic insurance market in the future. There is strong interest in Lloyds in the Nordic region. I look forward to working with the Lloyds market to build on these opportunities”
While small by international comparisons, the Nordic markets (Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland) have demonstrated strong growth in recent years in line with the strong performance of the oil, gas and shipping industries, and the low levels of insurance penetration in the region suggest there is scope for further growth.
