New Manchester-based broker launched by young entrepreneur

Jensten Group-owned Coversure has announced the launch of a new broker based in Manchester.

Called Red Apple Brokers, the firm is located in Oldham and headed up by young broking entrepreneur Ismaeel Latif.

Latif has just under a decade of insurance experience, having started his career at Swinton, and is among young professionals choosing Coversure as the platform to launch and scale their businesses.

For example, Mel Franke and Ciara Curran recently took on the ownership of the Coversure Teddington branch from retiring franchisee Philip Macdonald.

Latif said: “Having nursed the ambition of launching my own brokerage for some time now it is exciting to finally do so. The support and encouragement of the Jensten Network has been invaluable, not only in giving me the extra confidence I needed, but in providing the necessary advice, guidance, practical support and market access I need.”

Expansion

The launch of Red Apple Brokers brings the total of new offices joining the Coversure Network in the last 12 months to 11.

Jordan Maskell, network director, said: “Supporting ambitious brokers like Latif is central to our vision for the future of the Coversure Network.

”We’re seeing more and more young professionals who want to build something of their own and our role is to give them the infrastructure, market access and operational support to do exactly that. Red Apple Brokers is a great example of the fresh energy and entrepreneurial drive shaping our network’s growth.”
