Multiassistance is expanding into Northern Ireland.

The property repair and improvement firm is entering into partnerships with a network of contractors.

James Grant, Multiassistance's managing director, said: “In recent years the opportunities within the Northern Ireland insurance market have opened up considerably, with many companies recognising the need to be established there.

“Our decision to form a partnership with a network of local contractors is a natural step forward for Multiassistance and is part of the overall strategy to grow our international operations.”
