Iain Laws has been promoted to Managing Director – UK Healthcare & Group Risk at Jelf Employee Benefits with a view to streamlining the service offered to clients. Iain joined the company in August 2012 as Corporate Sales Director and was appointed Director - UK Healthcare in April 2013. He will now also take on responsibility for the Group Risk practice.
Jelf has put increasing emphasis on offering a holistic approach to employee benefits, with a proposition that focuses on both the financial and physical health and wellbeing of employees.
This newly created role will enable the company to meet the increasing demands from clients for an employee benefits consultancy that can deliver a coherent and coordinated service in support of wellbeing, health and protection employee benefits. There are clear synergies across healthcare and group risk which offer a greater opportunity for effective support of employee health and wellbeing and employer performance. By combining the leadership of both disciplines under one managing director the aim is to give greater focus to companies to easily and effectively realise these opportunities.
Commenting on the promotion, Glenn Thomas, Jelf’s Chief Executive – Financial Services said: ‘Iain has done an excellent job leading our UK Healthcare business and I know he’ll use his significant expertise to bring together the two disciplines to offer a streamlined service to our clients. We have built a very strong reputation in the market, and combining our healthcare and group risk teams is a natural evolution for us as we continue to develop our client proposition. I am delighted to have Iain heading this area as we continue to grow our business.’
Iain Laws will commence his role from 1 November 2014.
