New operation bolsters broker’s Devon presence

Higos Insurance Services has opened a new office on Cowick Street in Exeter.

The broker said the new office reinforces its presence in Devon, supporting the existing branches in Plymouth and Braunton.It is Higos’s 19th office in the south-west.

Higos managing director Ian Gosden said: “We are delighted to be delivering the Higos service to Exeter. There are many benefits for consumers in buying insurance through a local broker, not least that we listen to their needs and provide personal service. Our experience has shown that customers value a face-to-face and phone based service over internet-style services.

“We pride ourselves on providing our customers with a knowledgeable service and offer a strong alternative to the impersonal, aggregated internet service. Our staff undertake regular training to ensure Higos’ reputation for high quality customer service continues.

He added: “Our new Exeter office is testament to the growing desire among consumers to deal with a highly qualified and attentive broker and we are looking forward to welcoming new and existing customers through our doors.”
