Norwich-based broker Alan Boswell Group has opened new offices in the City of London and Ely, Cambridgeshire.

“It’s a very positive move,” said founder Alan Boswell. “It enables us to tap into the wealth of business which exists in London and clients there will want to deal with a city office.”

Newy-appointed director Chris Holmes will head the financial services arm of Alan Boswell & Co (London) Ltd, which has chartered status.

“This is a very exciting opportunity – exactly the challenge I have been looking for,” said associate director Reeve,

Alan Boswell Group recorded an 11% increase in revenue in the past 12 months, and employs over 180 people. The company has three offices in Norwich.

The broker has also appointed Vince Kelly to develop Alan Boswell Group’s nationwide portfolio of private clients.
