Iain Brown and Shirley Sutcliffe have been appointed by Marsh as senior placement brokers in its Manchester National Marine Broking Centre (NMBC).

Brown joins from broker Abbott & Bramwell, and earlier in his career served Aon as a marine account director, bringing over 30 years of experience to Marsh.

Sutcliffe leaves behind Aon’s marine broking unit to join Marsh, and brings more than two decades of industry experience to her new position.

Brown and Sutcliffe will report directly to NMBC leader Tim Jeacocke.

In their new roles they will be tasked with developing the firm’s marine cargo business throughout the country.

The NMBC has close ties to Marsh’s London-based Marine Specialty team and supervises marine cargo and freight liability placement, servicing and development.

In addition to this, the NMBC is responsible for the development of marine cargo products created to meet new demands.
