Small local insurance broker has big plans for growth in 2011

Crewe and Nantwich MP Edward Timpson has opened a new office for County Insurance which houses 40 staff.

The office relocation is in large part due to the impressive growth by the company. When County Insurance was founded in 2003, the staff headcount was 7. The company now employs over 40 staff in Crewe, with a further 15 staff at their Southport branch.

The local insurance broker provides both personal and business insurance and plans to expand to over 100 staff within the next 2 years.

Timpson said: "This clearly shows that by using the local talent pool and providing great customer service that companies can prosper, even when up against the national insurers with huge advertising budgets.”

"The training and staff development at County Insurance is particularly pleasing. This gives local people a great career path and ensures the needs of the customer are best served too."

In 2010, County Insurance is aiming to provide £18 million in insurance premiums and has 10,000 customers nationally.
