Cadogan Keelan Westall spurs growth with additional hires
Insurance broker Cadogan Keelan Westall is set to more than double 2010’s new business growth.
The broker, which is part of Barbon Insurance’s UK property and commercial division, has reported new business income in the first quarter is “well over half a million pounds”.
The company also said it is “set to smash its target of £785,000 by the end of 2011”.
To achieve this growth, Cadogan Keelan Westall has appointed a new senior management team, strengthened existing job functions, refined its product range, ramped up focus on overseas activities, and established a London base to complement its office in Hampshire.
Brett Sainty, head of Business at Cadogan Keelan Westall said: “Despite the current economic climate, we are well positioned to meet and then exceed our new business target for 2011. In fact, we are re-engaging with the commercial property industry more than ever before.
He continues: “The opening of the City office is a major step in further developing our UK and global presence as well as improving access to insurers and underwriting teams.”
“We are starting to develop partnerships with professional services companies such as accountants, solicitors and surveyors. Plus we are also seeing significant income from fund management companies.”
