County Insurance is moving to new premises in Crewe Business Park, in Crewe, Cheshire, to facilitate growth plans. This move will take effect from 6 September 2010.

When County Insurance, which currently has offices in Nantwich, Crewe, Congleton and Southport, was founded in 2003 (incorporating Heath & Blackshaw based in Congleton), the staff headcount was seven. County Insurance now employs over 55 staff in the region and plans to expand this to over 100 staff within the next 2 years.

Dave Clapp, MD of County Insurance, said: “We’re delighted with our continued growth and moving to larger premises to support this. Our customers have insurance premiums of over £15m per annum and business growth has been over 30% every year for the last seven years. Whilst the current trading conditions remain challenging, a combination of competitive prices, excellent customer service and proactive marketing means that County Insurance has been able to employ further local talent to cope with increased demand."

Risk reviews for PII Brokers

We help PII brokers to find out if their clients' quality management systems reduce risk. In our experience many don't, and certification to ISO 9001 is not a reliable indicator. We can help your clients to reduce bureaucracy and make controls more effective.
