Corporate & Sector Risks practice announces appointment

The Corporate & Sector Risks practice at Keoghs has expanded its team with the addition of Sally Richmond, who joins from Plexus.

Over a 25-year career Sally has built an outstanding reputation throughout the industry and developed strong relationships with a wide range of major UK insurers, corporate risks and brokers. Having worked closely with many high-profile clients, including several commercial fleet operators, she will significantly strengthen Keoghs’ retail and transport & logistics sector teams.

Sally brings considerable experience and will also play a crucial role in the expansion of the practice’s presence in Yorkshire and the North East.

Keoghs’ dedicated Corporate & Sector Risk practice handles over 30,000 cross-class claims for almost 100 corporate clients across seven major sectors, providing tailored claims solutions and trusted expertise to many of the UK’s most recognised brands.

Commenting on her appointment, Sally said: 'I’m delighted to join Keoghs and such a fantastic team in Corporate and Sector Risks. I’m very excited to play a part in a bright future and work with some exceptional people, as we continue to develop and grow.'

Practice lead Andrew Evans added: 'We’re thrilled to welcome Sally. She has always stood out through her profile and experience within the market and it will be great to have her working with the practice rather than competing against us!  This first appointment, with more to come, demonstrates our ability to attract the very best talent in the corporate risk market and will help support the delivery of our strategic objectives.  Sally is a key hire bolstering our motor proposition and sector offerings as we continue to grow throughout various regions across the UK.'
