53 staff transfer to new Midlands operation

Independent liability adjuster Garwyn Group has signed a 10 year lease to create its first flagship operation in Birmingham.

The new office in Birmingham forms an imporant part of chief executive Stewart McCulloch’s plan to build a strong regional presence in the UK’s key commercial centres, the company said.

As part of the move, Garwyn has relocated all 53 employees from its offices in nearby Burton and Bromsgrove and is planning to recruit further technical staff nationally.

The Birmingham operation will be headed up by Peter Wilson, Neil Hackett and Keith Wise.

McCulloch said: “To compete effectively and maximise the valuable local expertise for which Garwyn is renowned, we have to make it as easy as possible for our corporate, insurer and broker customers to do business with us.

"Being on our Client’s doorsteps is the first step in that direction and Birmingham, with the second biggest economy in the UK, is exactly the right place for our flagship location."
