The fine art, jewellers block and specie division at Lonmar Global Risks Limited has recruited a team of five specialists from Price Forbes. The move increases the size of Lonmar’s division by a third and underpins its intention to expand its capabilities and grow its market presence.

The new appointments are led by Edward Longe (head of the specie wholesale team) and include Richard Phillips, David Cobb, Susan Raffel and Martyna Samec.

Aqua Sanfelice, who leads the fine art, jewellers block and specie division at Lonmar, said: “Securing Edward and his colleagues is a major coup for us, and they will make an immediate, significant difference to the breadth and depth of our JB, CIT and GS proposition.”

She added: “They give us new capability across all specie sub classes globally with specific emphasis in North America, Turkey and India, and strengthen our existing links in South America. Moreover, we now have a strong jewellers block customer base in the Far East.”
