Meet the team




I am the SME Divisional Director. Following a decade in commercial insurance, I set up a brokerage in 2000 specialising in SME business and successfully sold this to James Hallam when I joined in 2007.
I am responsible for the group’s placement, process and distribution of all our SME business. I oversee the growth and management of all teams who handle SME business.
I am originally from Manchester but since moving down in 2000 my feet are firmly planted very happily in Essex.

I am Martin Fagan and I manage the South East SME team. My insurance career started in 1996, where I was originally a lead generator. The company successfully grew and was set up as an SME Brokerage in 2000. Since then, I have managed & developed the SME team offering which is specialist and customer focused. In 2007 we were acquired by James Hallam and we continue to go from strength to strength as a specialist SME division.
I’m originally from London, enjoy travel and am particularly fond of California. I consider myself to be a bit of a foodie and love to cook. I’m more than a bit of a geek and a huge Doctor Who fan.

I am Louise Kennon and I manage the SME Team in Dumfries. My insurance career began in 1999, working initially as a Trainee in Private Clients within a community based Brokerage. I duly became a Commercial Account Executive in 2010. The Brokerage was acquired by James Hallam in 2017. Following further local acquisitions a major restructure of the operations in Scotland was undertaken leading to a dedicated SME Department being formed in Dumfries.
I have always lived and worked in Dumfries. Much of my spare time is taken up by my 2 children but when I do get time to myself I like to eat out as much as possible, anything to save me doing the cooking and washing up.
