Broker Bradshaw Bennett plans to double in size over the next three years, following the merger of its London market, commercial lines and wholesale businesses.
Tony Gough, the company's sales director, said it expected to be placing £10m in annual premiums by 2008 owing to an aggressive push into the SME and manufacturing sectors.
The Macclesfield-based firm also intends to grow the wholesale arm of its business. It is currently in the process of negotiating details of another scheme using its cover holding facility with Lloyd's underwriting agencies including Ace, Impact and Atrium.
The broker currently runs schemes for the pest control industry and animal health distributors.
Gough said: "Following the merger of the three arms of the businesses, Bradshaw Bennett is on a real drive to capitalise on our relationships within Lloyd's and with other brokers.
"We have authorised a big marketing spend and will be actively going out into the market with our proposition."
