Coventry insurance brokerage inspired to launch new division
AN insurance broker based in Coventry is launching a new division after recording another strong year of growth.
Inspire Insurance Services, which operates throughout the UK from its base at Mercia Business Village on Westwood Business Park, Canley, is setting up a landlords division in its fifth year, having seen a 28% growth in turnover during this current financial year.
The new department will serve both residential and commercial landlords directly as well as provide cover indirectly through lettings agencies and property management companies.
Managing director Leigh Mackey said: “It is an area where we have always had strong expertise, and the number of clients and enquiries from landlords and lettings agents has grown to a level that warranted a standalone division.
“We are already in talks with a number of high-profile lettings agents and property management companies within the area who recognise the benefits of having third party access to a full range of insurance cover for landlords.
“We have enhanced the standard offering among brokers of buildings insurance to include rent guarantee, home emergency and legal protection, which covers repossession, eviction of squatters and claims for property damage.”
The expansion has seen the company strengthen its senior team with the appointment of Daniel Westlake to head up the new division.
He will initially concentrate on developing the new strand of the business within Coventry before extending out into the wider region and ultimately nationally.
