Broadstone expands health and risk team

Employee benefits consultancy Broadstone has appointed Emily Degan as team leader for its risk and health desk-based consulting team.

Degan brings nearly 30 years of experience in financial services, including almost 17 years leading teams and managing client portfolios in the defined contribution pensions and employee benefits sector. She previously spent close to 25 years at Jelf and Mercer, and most recently led a team of client relationship managers at Mercer Marsh Benefits, advising SME clients on workplace pensions and wider benefits strategy.

In her new role, she will oversee delivery across risk, health and employee benefits portfolios, with a focus on client service, relationship management and developing tailored wellbeing and protection solutions.

Commenting on her new role, Degan said: ‘I am excited to have joined Broadstone, and to be developing my expertise within the Risk & Healthcare space, so I can better support our clients with innovative employee benefits strategies.

‘I am focused on developing and supporting my team so they feel valued and recognised, enabling them to perform at their best and deliver an outstanding service.’

Broadstone head of health and protection Brett Hill said: ‘Emily’s deep experience in the employee benefits sector, combined with her strong background in client service delivery and relationship management, further strengthens Broadstone’s ability to provide high-quality, tailored advice to clients across our Risk and Health portfolios.

‘As demand continues to increase for impactful and cost-effective workplace health strategies, she is going to play a key role in supporting Broadstone’s clients to enhance employee wellbeing and to achieve their broader strategic goals.’
