A Teesside insurance broker has achieved the significant milestone of closing £10 million in deals per year.
Henderson Insurance Brokers in Stockton was started four years ago after industry executive Joe Henderson decided there was a lack of competition in the Newcastle market, according to Gazette Live.
But now the firm employs 25 people at its Preston Farm offices and is one of the fastest-growing branches in the corporation’s network, which includes sites in Hull, Peterborough and Leeds.
Among the first hires that Mr Henderson made were brother and sister partnership Jonathan Willett and Emma Simkins, who had previously worked for their father’s business.
Mr Willett commented: “The success is due to the personal service our team offers and their real understanding of the requirements of private sector businesses locally. Our people … scour international markets for insurance products that fit their requirements.”
The insurer added that the firm’s portfolio includes Lloyd’s Business Group and Contractsure – showing it is are broadening its client-base.
