RFIB has appointed Elizabeth Jenkin as managing director of client solutions for the group.

She joins the Lloyd’s (re)insurance broker following nearly two decades at Aon, where she most recently served as chief broking officer for the EMEA region.

Jenkin boasts 24 years of industry experience, beginning her (re)insurance career in underwriting at Euler Hermes before turning her hand to broking and holding a string of positions during her tenure at Aon including head of international business and chief commercial officer.

Commenting on the appointment, RFIB chief executive Steven Beard said: “I am very pleased to welcome Elizabeth to RFIB. Elizabeth joins us at an exciting time as we look to double the revenues across the group. Appointing someone of Elizabeth’s calibre enhances our ongoing commitment to broaden our capabilities and the services we provide to clients.”

Jenkin added: “Strong, independent, innovative brokers are a vital part of the insurance community and I am looking forward to working with the team to build and grow on their excellent reputation.

“How can we do this? By continually asking ourselves ‘is there a better way to get the best outcome for our clients?’ By asking this simple question across all facets of the business we can pursue RFIB’s goals of being a thriving, successful, entrepreneurial company that makes a difference for its customers and employees globally.”
