Gender Pay Gap Report

Introduction

At Gallivan Murphy Insurance Brokers Limited (“GMIB”), we are dedicated to fostering a workplace that is fair, inclusive, and transparent. The publication of our Gender Pay Gap Report reflects this focus and provides an opportunity to continue our ongoing journey to promote that all employees—regardless of gender—have equal access to opportunities, recognition, and reward.

A message from our Joint Managing Directors

At GMIB we are focused on building a workplace that is fair, inclusive, and representative of the diverse communities we serve. We recognise that the gender pay gap is about the broader distribution of men and women across different roles and levels within the organisation. Our priorities include:

  • Ensuring equal access to career development and progression opportunities
  • Supporting flexible working arrangements to balance professional and personal responsibilities
  • Promoting diverse leadership and representation at all levels
  • Embedding inclusive practices into recruitment, training, and performance management

We are proud of the steps already taken, but we know there is more to do. By continuing to listen, learn, and act, we aim to create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

This year, GMIB has been acquired through the purchase of Assured Partners International by Arthur J. Gallagher & Co (“Gallagher”) in the largest insurance broking acquisition ever completed. As a result, we are in the process of aligning an already thriving business to our new parent company, Gallagher, as we embark on this new chapter. Bringing together two teams with talented team members and processes, with a continued focus on inclusion and diversity, will further enforce our dedication to reducing our gender pay gap.

We look forward to the work ahead and are grateful to all our team members for their ongoing dedication and loyalty to the business during this change management process, and to the continued delivery of top-class service to our customers and clients.

Gender Pay Gap Information | 2024–2025

GMIB’s gender pay gap results are predominantly driven by the higher percentage of our male colleagues occupying revenue-generating roles, which attract higher bonuses. We are dedicated to implementing a strategy that will attract strong female talent to these roles, through recruitment, development and succession planning processes.

Key Concepts

Relevant Pay Period

The data in this report relates to the 12 months ending on 30th June 2025.

Mean Hourly Pay

The mean is calculated by comparing average hourly pay between relevant male employees and relevant female employees. A mean of 10% shows that women are paid 10% less than men on average.

Median Hourly Pay

The median is the middle value in the list of hourly pay for men and women. A median of 15% shows that women are paid 15% less at the mid-point.

Benefit in Kind

A non-cash benefit of estimated monetary value.

Pay Quartiles

Employees are divided into four equal parts based on pay to understand gender distribution across levels.

Gender Reporting

Irish legislation requires binary gender reporting. We support equal pay for colleagues across all gender identities.
