An insurance business from North West England has announced plans to open its first Scottish operation.
C&C Insurance Brokers will be opening a new office in Dumfries and Galloway next month.
It will be run by Lauren Kerr, who will be joining the business from Towergate to develop business opportunities within Scotland.
She worked at Towergate for 13 years and became reputed in the transport haulage and logistics industry.
Malcolm Cooke, managing director at C&C Insurance Brokers, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Lauren into the business and to a successful working partnership - our continuing strategy of rolling out a branch network by targeting talented individuals is gathering momentum.”
Kerr added: “I’m looking forward to the freedom of working for one of the UK’s leading independent brokers and the opportunity to further expand the C&C brand.”
C&C’s move into Scotland follows the creation of branches in Newport South Wales, Chester, the Midlands and Leeds.
