The Insurance Partnership Launch New West Yorkshire Operation
Leading independent Insurance Broker The Insurance Partnership is on the march again, continuing its programme of expansion with the aim of establishing a Corporate Presence in Leeds and surrounding areas.
The Hull-based business was established in 1993 with only 4 members of staff and now has 140 staff in its group operations and offices in Hull, York, Sutton Coldfield and recently its first Scottish office, in Dalkeith, Midlothian.
The decision to move to Leeds forms part of the company’s continuing strategy to grow organically in thriving markets and to move into the corporate market, which the company sees as a growth area.
Chris Finch a Senior Account Executive, previously with national broker Aon, will be responsible for clients in South and West Yorkshire and also for spearheading the move into the Leeds market.
Chris Finch has said of his appointment: “I am delighted to be joining The Insurance Partnership, their values and ethos on client care fit very much with mine which is very refreshing having coming from a national broker . I am more excited than I have been in years at the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
The company will shortly be recruiting Leeds based brokers as a first step in its plans and will then look further afield for first class people to serve other parts of Yorkshire.
Les Reveley, Commercial Director of The Insurance Partnership, said of the expansion programme: “The move into the Leeds and West Yorkshire market marks the next logical step in the evolution of our expansion programme.
We have continued to prosper despite difficult economic times and we are well placed to take our business to the next stage”
