  • BOBBY MAJOR

    Eastern Region Manager

    “I began my insurance career in 2012 with a Lloyd’s broker in the London Market. After moving to Australia in 2021, I worked as a placement broker before joining Market Lane in 2023 to embark on an exciting new chapter. I believe that insurance is fundamentally built on strong relationships, and my role in partnership allows me to cultivate and strengthen these connections.”
