Family-owned broker hires six into taxi team

Family-owned broker Patons Insurance has continued its expansion in the north of England with the appointment of six new regional team members.

Adam Anderson has joined the firm’s Liverpool office as its new taxi cover sales manager. He will work alongside current sales director Matt Chadwick to “drive sales forward”.

Dean Taylor and Andy Wright likewise join the Liverpool team as taxi sales advisors, while Christina Cope enters the team as a renewals advisor.

Meanwhile, the firm’s Manchester office has also been expanded, with Shylank Mali joining as taxi sales advisor and Alan Brown as renewals advisor.

Jo Noonan, operations director at Patons, said: “I am thrilled to welcome the guys to our team.

“Bringing in a ready made team of talented individuals is going to build on the foundations we already have in place and allow the business to move forward with its growth plans.”

Partnership

Patons recently partnered with insurer Admiral to launch a new taxi insurance product for owner-drivers and private-hire proprietors, with fleet cover options set to be introduced in the future.

Darren Roberts, managing director at Patons, said: “Admiral is a major UK motor insurer, covering almost 20% of the private cars on our roads.

“That depth of knowledge brings a wealth of expertise to our sector along with an extensive claims network of approved repair facilities across the country – something that our taxi customers may now benefit from through the potential of insuring their private hire or taxi vehicle with Admiral.”
