Senior leader profile: Mark Jones 

Crombie Lockwood Chief Broking Officer, Mark Jones has arranged complex cover for some of the world’s biggest firms, and believes there’s no difference in how a large corporate business, or a SME should approach their insurance needs.

“Strip away all aspects of your size, your industry, your products: it all comes down to understanding your risks, what the financial implications of those risks are, and what actions you need to take to mitigate your risks: how much to assume and how much to transfer” he says.
