Well Dunn boss eyes doubling GWP in five years
Uwais Patel, director of Well Dunn, has targeted hitting £100m gross written premium in the next five years.
As of the end of August this year, the two broking arms, spanning wheels-based specialisms and a growing commercial offering, are sitting at £48m GWP, Patel, pictured, told Insurance Age. There is also a non-Financial Conduct Authority regulated business in the parent holding company.
