Bobby Major
Southern Regional Manager
“I began my insurance career in 2012 with a Lloyd’s broker in the London Market. In 2021, I made the move to Australia in search of a sunnier lifestyle and new opportunities. I started working as a placement broker and, in 2023, joined Market Lane to embark on an exciting new chapter in my career. I believe that insurance is fundamentally built on strong relationships, and my role in partnership allows me to cultivate and strengthen these connections.”
