The UK’s foremost specialist protection adviser, John Lamb Hill Oldridge, has boosted its leadership team by promoting Holly Hill to the role of associate director.

Holly focuses on advising the firm’s landed and property estate clients, resolving the issues that arise when placing significant life cover policies in both the UK and international markets.
