Office move follows rise in staff numbers.

Heath Lambert has moved locations in Sheffield to make room for further expansion.

The insurance broker, which has been trading in Sheffield for 20 years and has a client base of over 300 local companies, has been growing its staff since posting double-digit growth last year.

Among the new faces is David Wright, formerly of Oval, who has been hired as a senior account handler with responsibility for larger corporate business and development co-ordination. Joining Wright is Lesley Mitchell, who will take charge of the commercial section that specialises in providing insurance products and solutions to the SME sector.

The two new members will join a team with a broad range of skills, particularly in manufacturing and hi-tech. The Sheffield office also includes members of the company's consulting division.

David Colegate, head of office in Sheffield, said: “I am keen to ensure that the team here in Sheffield remains flexible and has the appetite and ability to move with an ever-evolving and broadening business sector. Our mantra is quality in all areas of our business and its operations; high quality people providing high quality service and solutions. Attracting people like David and Lesley, who will add value to our enthusiastic and robust team while delivering solutions that meet client needs, remains at the top of our agenda.”
