Jardine Lloyd Thompson says net income grew by 8 percent for the first half of the year despite challenges from the continued soft market.
The London-based insurance brokerage firm reported net income grew more than £6 million ($10 million at the current exchange rate) to £80 million ($132 million). Total revenue grew 9 percent, or £34 million ($56 million), to £411 million ($676 million).
“Our emphasis on being a client-first organization is clearly serving us well as demonstrated by our strong organic growth record,” says Dominic Burke, JLT's chief executive, in a statement. “We continue to invest in people, technology and business acquisitions across the group to support our future growth.”

The firm reports that its risk and insurance segment produced organic growth of 8 percent underscored by strong performance in its combined retail operations around the world that generated organic growth of 14 percent.
