Giles Insurance Brokers invests £500,000 in Welsh regional office

Expanding firm Giles Insurance Brokers has made a £500,000 investment in a regional office in Llantrisant, Wales.

The company described the investment as one of its “most significant” in recent years and said it signified the potential for growth in Wales.

Giles first moved to Wales two years ago when it bought established insurance broker Hedges and Rose. Since then, it has completed the purchase of an additional five insurance brokers.

The decision to integrate the majority of its businesses into Magden Park comes at a time when the company says it is embarking on a new period of growth, looking to expand both its client base and its team in the coming months.

The 10,000 sq ft premises feature the latest technology and VOIP (voice over internet protocol) telephone systems.

Regional managing director Mike Jones said: “Our senior management team, which comprises the original directors from our previous acquisitions in Wales, continues to take an active role in the development and direction of Giles in the region.

“Over the past couple of years, in particularly the last 12 months, we have experienced a phenomenal level of growth.

“This in turn has led to additional recruitment to make sure we are in a position to fully service our clients’ needs, creating further job opportunities in the local area.

“Our decision to invest so significantly in Wales shows that this region is of particular importance to us and our growth plans.

“We are thrilled to be in a position to make such an investment and will soon start a brand new recruitment campaign.”
