Yorkshire-based broker and financial advisor JM Glendinning has opened a new office in Gateshead and unveiled plans to open ten more.

The new office will be headed up by Darren McArdle.

JMG Group managing director Paul Glendinning said he wanted to open ten offices within ten years.

"Our intention at the moment is to do it organically, but we would be open to acquisitions if we felt it was right for us," he added.

The general insurance arm of the JMG Group controls around £12m GWP, and Glendinning said he expected to control more than £20m in five years.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
