29th January, 2013, London: Insurance broker JLT Specialty's Nottingham Risk Practice has got off to a flying start since it opened in June 2012 and has now appointed its sixth new recruit. Derek Jones joined the global insurance broker on January 7th to act as a business development consultant as well as providing advice on client portfolios.

Growth in Nottingham Risk practice is exceeding expectations and Derek is already JLT's second new recruit of 2013.

Derek Jones began his insurance career back in the 1960's and has worked his way up from a trainee right the way through to directorship, experiencing roles as a claims manager and insurance inspector along the way. He also ran his own insurance brokerage which he sold in 1999 to Bland Bankart (now Oval).

Commenting on his appointment, Sally Swann, Head of the Nottingham Risk Practice said, "Derek has over 50 years experience in the insurance industry and has worked on many large risks and complex global insurance programmes. Having access to a consultant with this level of skill and expertise is an invaluable additional resource."

In his spare time Derek enjoys golf, football, travel and being a grandparent!
