Specialist Lloyd’s broker SSL Endeavour has expanded its property team with the addition of two new brokers.

Caroline Devane joins the firm as director for property and specialty lines, having spent nearly 15 years at Bell & Clements where she began her career and subsequently rose to become a senior broker responsible for placing and managing a portfolio of commercial property and specialty lines business.

Meanwhile, Geoff Rowland has been appointed as director for property. He joins SSL Endeavour from Aon Risk Solutions where he was a director responsible for developing, placing and coordinating a suite of property facilities into the London Market. Prior to Aon, he was at RK Harrison, where he specialised in North American Property business.

Commenting on the hires, SSL Endeavour co-chairman David Lawrence said: “We are very pleased that two such well-respected producing brokers, with strong relationships in the market and solid experience, are joining our growing team. 

“Global property and specialty lines are highly competitive, and only brokers bringing true value and insight to the process will thrive. Geoff and Caroline demonstrate the expert problem-solving, innovative approach that the London Market champions, and we are delighted to welcome them to SSL Endeavour.”

SSL Endeavour Group CEO David Lawrence added: “Following the milestone SSL Endeavour merger, Caroline and Geoff will further enhance our property and specialty offering as a combined business. 

“We look for proactive team players with an ability to take the initiative, entrepreneurial spirit and a proven strong track record in new business development as well as management of existing accounts, and they both fit the bill perfectly.”
