Overview and key points
Partners&, the award-winning insurance advisory business, is launching in Manchester and has invested in a state of the art premises at the M60 Office Park. The move is in line with its ambitious growth strategy aimed at bringing its distinctive proposition to key sectors of the economy, including digital, technology, life sciences, construction, recruitment and logistics and transport – all sectors which are thriving in the North West.
Launching its new North West hub currently serves 15 colleagues in Greater Manchester and more than 40 employees across the region. With the space, facilities and amenities, it’s the ideal location to access clients across the North West and become a meeting place for visiting colleagues.
“Investing in Manchester is a statement of intent. Manchester is a thriving city, with many of the growth sectors that align with our expertise – from the digital, life sciences and technology sectors to haulage and logistics. We were looking for a modern premises with the right amenities and facilities for our people – and we found that in M60 Office Park. The feedback that we’ve had already from the team is that it’s “mint!”.
We’ve made two strategic appointments in Manchester recently. Peter Stoll joined us in January, a recruitment specialist with 40 plus years in the industry. We have also just welcomed a team of trade credit insurance specialists, which will be particularly interesting to businesses in the current economic climate we are facing.
“We’re excited to bring our class-leading proposition to Manchester. Too many businesses are underserved by their insurance advisers – we regularly hear from new clients that they don’t understand their insurances. That’s where we’re different – we make it our mission to gain a deep understanding of our clients and their challenges, so that we can work in collaboration to develop a solution that is appropriate to them. More than anything, we care about our clients and are skilled in ensuring that that their risk and benefits programme is aligned to their goals.”
Founded in April 2020, Partners& was created to provide a “next generation” standard of advice and service to clients, calling attention to what it believed to be 21st century risks that many businesses and their advisers fail to address. Core to its proposition is the notion of partnership, and its stated mission is to collaborate with clients, eco-system partners and insurers to build resilience for clients enabling them to navigate a complex and everchanging world and achieve their ambitions.
