The expanded Gallagher Brokerage Review breaks down Gallagher’s primary revenue engines – US retail brokerage, wholesale and specialty platforms, reinsurance operations, and Gallagher Bassett – showing how each contributes to scale, margin, and cross-selling potential. New visuals show employee count, global office numbers, and regional revenue contribution. 

International development is a central focus of the updated edition. Gallagher now operates more than 100 offices in the UK, alongside growing footprints in Australia, New Zealand, India, and Asia-Pacific. Expanded figures trace Gallagher’s transition from U.S.-centric growth to a multi-hub global model, designed to rival Marsh and Aon. 

The enhanced Brokerage Review devotes necessary attention to talent acquisition and poaching, documenting aggressive leadership recruitment and the litigation that frequently follows. New case summaries outline how non-compete enforcement and employee raiding disputes are quasi-structural features of Gallagher’s operating model.
