EJ Hentenaar, European chief executive officer of Lockton, said: “The business which Juan Sanchez, Juan Hurtado and their team have built is exceptional. They have an unrelenting focus on client service, underpinned by a recognition and commitment to independence and the benefits which this affords them. Their approach has seen them rapidly become the broker to watch in Spain, with an enviable client base that is enabling them to expand to support Spanish businesses internationally.

Today’s agreement represents a key milestone for our business in Spain and the potential of this partnership is truly exciting.”

Making this partnership a reality has been a shared goal for some time. I am certain that the combination of Lockton’s global footprint and broad product suite will provide Jhasa with the firepower to realise its ambitions, while its second-to-none market relationships will enable us to fast track our growth plans for Spain and for Spanish interests abroad. We look forward to welcoming them to the Lockton Global Partnership.”

This strategic partnership is a very big step in making that goal a reality. Lockton will provide us with additional expertise, global capabilities, enhanced products, and a new team of associates who we know share our approach to client service.
