GILES APPOINTED SOLE INSURANCE ADVISOR TO THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF BUILDERS

Giles Insurance Brokers (“Giles” or “the Group”), the rapidly expanding independent insurance broker, today announces its appointment as sole insurance advisor to the National Federation of Builders.

Giles achieved the exclusive National Federation of Builders (NFB) endorsement after strong competition from other providers and will offer tailored insurance services to the 1,800 members across England and Wales.

Historically, the NFB has broken down its insurance offering into regions with different insurance brokers assigned to each. Giles will provide a national coverage with a network of regional offices reflective of the NFB’s own structure.

Chris Giles, Chief Executive of Giles commented, “We are delighted to have been appointed the sole insurance advisor to the National Federation of Builders. The NFB is a leading organisation in its sector and will allow Giles to serve a large client base and further build its offering in this sector. We look forward to working with the NFB and maximising on future opportunities as we take our business forward.”

June Davis, Training and Membership Services Manager of NFB said, “The appointment of Giles will be a huge advantage to our members in a tightening market. Giles’ tailored services will bolster the support of the NFB’s members at a time when an increasing number of firms struggle to find favourable rates. Giles will help contractors gain the advice of specialist insurers who know the market and help source competitive quotes from underwriters. We look forward to working closely with Giles and developing our offering to our members further.”
