Find out more about becoming a Gallagher AR
We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and as an authorised firm we are allowed, subject to agreement, to appoint and monitor Appointed Representatives (AR). AR status offers many benefits. For example, it removes the need and expense of applying directly to the FCA, you can conduct permitted regulated activities on our behalf, and there is no need for you to fund your own compliance team. Contact UKagents@ajg.co.uk for more information.
