ACE to open Aberdeen office

ACE Group has announced plans to open an office in Aberdeen before the end of the year as it ramps up its service offering for UK regional brokers and clients.

The branch will be ACE’s 12^th in the UK and Ireland region and its second in Scotland, with almost 200 employees already based in its Glasgow offices.

ACE’s regional president for the UK and Ireland David Robinson said: “ACE has a solid regional presence throughout the UK and Ireland. The move to open an office in Aberdeen is in response to broker demand and demonstrates our continued commitment to offer underwriting and service capabilities in key areas of both geographical and competitive strength for ACE.”

ACE’s regional manager for Scotland Andy Macfarlane said: “Our Aberdeen office will allow us to better meet the diverse needs of our Scottish brokers and their clients. In particular, a local presence and access to enhanced local knowledge will allow us to provide our broker partners in the northeast of Scotland with an improved level of service and demonstrates our commitment to further building our business in the region.”

The Aberdeen office will service all lines of business and trade sectors within the region, with a focus on the oil and gas sector and clients with expanding overseas operations.
