Heath Lambert Employee Benefits and Gallagher Risk and Reward have re-branded as Gallagher Employee Benefits (GEB).

GEB is now the UK employee benefits brand of Arthur J Gallagher International, the insurance, employee benefits and risk management adviser.

The re-branded firm will focus on delivering advice and solutions across a range of areas affecting UK organisations, such as pensions, life, disability, healthcare, employee wellness and benefits choice.

Michael Brown, director at GEB, said: “UK organisations have had a tough year, and 2012 is set to get even harder, with auto-enrolment and other major initiatives impacting on corporate budgets, and it is now more important than ever for firms to have copper-bottomed, sustainable employee benefits strategies and the necessary policies in place.

Tim Johnson, director at GEB, added: “The creation of a core brand marks the beginning of a new era for the Gallagher employee benefits business in the UK.

“Increasing legislative impact on the workplace and an ever widening range of complex corporate issues affecting large, medium and smaller organisations means employers need innovative and reliable advice on benefits more than ever.”
