McLardy McShane names new leaders as founders step back

McLardy McShane has unveiled a new-look leadership structure as CEO Don McLardy and director Mike McShane move into executive board roles.

The fast-growing group has announced leaders for its two main entities – McLardy McShane Partners (MMP) and McLardy McShane Insurance Advisors (MMIA).

MMP is the licence-holding company, under which the group’s more than 150-strong authorised representative network operates across Australia. Former group COO Meg Long is now CEO of MMP.

Don’s son Nick McLardy, who has 10 years’ experience in senior roles, becomes CEO of MMIA, which is the nationwide insurance brokerage consisting of the company’s 32 joint venture partnerships.

Co-founders Don McLardy and Mr McShane will become executive chairman and executive director respectively, as the company continues to lay foundations for future expansion. 

“These two young professional leaders have helped us build a great company, which is poised to have an even bigger industry presence in future years,” Don McLardy said.
 
“It is only logical that they be given the chance to lead and build the next generation, and they have appointed quality executive teams around them to assist. 
 
“The great culture and values that make the McLardy McShane Group so different will be preserved, and I am very excited to see what the next few years brings.”

The announcements were made today at the group’s annual conference in the Blue Mountains.
