The successful independent insurance Broker AMB Insurance
Services Limited will be relocating its business operation to
Wolstanton after securing a financial package from NatWest
Commercial Banking, allowing the business to expand.
As a truly independent broker, AMB Insurance Services Ltd -
established by Andrew Barrow and Claire Pigeon in 2003 - offer
completely independent advice, with no other interested parties
behind the scenes and has access to the composite insurers as well
as the Lloyds market. By sticking to their independent broker
status, the company has enjoyed strong growth even during these
difficult economic times.
The business - which provides employment for eight people -
currently successfully operates from leasehold premises in Stafford
Street, Stone, but the directors were very keen to purchase their
own premises and expand. With this in mind the company approached
NatWest commercial banking who came up with a financial package
allowing them to purchase premises in Woodland Avenue, Wolstanton
and support further expansion.
The expansion of the company will create new jobs moving
forward.
Claire Pigeon, Managing Director of AMB Insurance Services Ltd,
said: "We are a traditional brokerage business where values of
personal service, knowledge and dependability are paramount.
We take a holistic approach, where we believe in working
closely with our clients to truly understand their business.
This approach ensures our insurance specifically suits or
customers and we have been able to successfully grow our business.
With this growth it has become essential for us to invest in the
company and purchase new premises for the benefit of the business,
our staff and our customers."
Paul Slinger, senior relationship manager with NatWest
commercial banking who arranged the financial package, said: "AMB
Insurance Services Ltd is a great local success story. They have
shown by understanding their customers and the services they offer
how a business can grow. The purchase of the Wolstanton premises is
a very positive move for the company and I am delighted that
NatWest have been able to support them.
