Bridge Insurance Brokers Limited has reinforced its commitment to its new London market operation with the establishment of a specialist property insurance division.
As part of its growth strategy in London, Bridge has appointed Steve Woolley as head of property. Steve joins Bridge from Bluefin Insurance where he worked as real estate sales director.
Steve will be responsible for delivering Bridge’s commercial and private property proposition, focusing specifically on the London market.
Steve’s appointment is part of Bridge’s national and international commitment to providing innovative property insurance solutions to its clients. In addition, the company recently bolstered its property team by acquiring Michael Regan as head of real estate at its Manchester office.
Steve said: “The key attraction to Bridge is its founding philosophy that it’s all about the client. I will be working closely with property managers and owners to ensure we develop the best insurance solutions available.”
Karl King, Head of Bridges’ London operations, said:
“Bridge has long been established as one of the leading brokers in the North West and is now rapidly expanding into the London market.
“Our growth strategy is simple in that we want to attract the best insurance professionals and empower them to deliver the best possible advice, products and service to our clients.”
