Geo announces new Head of Protection

Introducing Neill Johnstone as Head of Protection

Our vision is to be the market leader in our chosen communities and specialisms, and thanks to our transformational journey, aligning our business behind the six Geo Specialisms, and the hard work of our colleagues every day, we’re well on our way to achieving this ambition.   

In support of this, we’re delighted to announce that we have appointed Neill Johnstone as Head of Protection, alongside his role as Managing Director of Lorega. Meaning our Group Life and Fee Protection businesses will be managed by Neill, bringing our fantastic Protection propositions together. Neill takes over from Adrian Scott who has been leading the team on an interim basis but will now focus solely on his role as Head of Marine.  

Neill says: “I am both excited and privileged to be given the opportunity to lead a wider group of businesses across the Protection brands within Geo. There is similarity across the three businesses but variety in distribution and market that represent a great opportunity for growth and development of the combined Protection business. I am very much looking forward to the journey ahead and to working with my new colleagues at PFP and Lutine.” 

Grant Thompson, Trading Underwriting Director commented “I am excited by what we will achieve under Neill’s leadership. His wealth of experience and strong reputation in the market  are well placed to continue the success of our Protection Specialism.”
