Leading UK insurance broker Heath Lambert is making Laura MacFadzean associate director of its high net worth division. Previously at competing insurers Marsh, Ms MacFadzean was head of the private client division for the North of the UK. She joins the Edinburgh office.

Her appointment follows that of Fiona Powell to Heath Lambert’s Manchester HNW team.

“With these appointments we have delivered on our strategy to extend the reach of our team into our network of regional offices. We believe that our high net worth proposition complements the group’s general commercial insurance offering so it made sense for us to have our experts sitting with members of our regional teams,” said Richard Northcott, managing director of the art, jewellery and private client division at Heath Lambert.

Heath Lambert has a head office based in London's City district and a network of regional offices across the UK. The firm’s services extend to sectors such as construction, professional indemnity, directors and officers, credit, affinity organisations, private equity, personal lines, employee benefits, fine art, property investment/management and transportation.
