New offices for Yorkshire insurance broker as firm teases "exciting plans"

A Yorkshire insurance broker has announced that it is launching a new division in Settle.

Dallas Wilding Drew, which is a part of the wider TL Dallas group, is opening its first offices in the area.

The office will be led by Simon Drew and Mark Wilding, who have a combined total of more than 50 years of insurance and risk management experience.

The new operation will service customers in the local area and further afield, using TL Dallas’s size and scale across its UK office network.

Tim Mortimer, commercial managing director at TL Dallas, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Mark and Simon to the TL Dallas group.

“They are both first rate operators with extensive knowledge, experience and networks, and will provide valuable services to the local community.

“The opening of our new North Yorkshire office is in line with our strategy of attracting high quality individuals and expanding our footprint to help us achieve our growth aspirations.

“This move means we can continue to offer our clients the best service possible through our independent operating model.”

Simon Drew said: “Our focus as trusted advisers is to deliver the best value for money that we can for our clients across general commercial and corporate insurance.

“We have exciting plans for growth and Mark and I are looking forward to delivering on this as part of the TL Dallas family.”

Mark Wilding added: “Both Simon and I have been given an incredible opportunity to build a business with TL Dallas under the Dallas Wilding Drew brand.

“We had been exploring opportunities to launch a venture together and following conversations with the TL Dallas board, the Dallas Wilding Drew proposition evolved.

“We are delighted to be part of such a successful group whose values are aligned with our own, and we’re looking forward to celebrating many successes together over the coming years.”
