Giles branches out in Wales

Giles Insurance Brokers is continuing to dominate the acquisition market following the successful acquisition of Welsh insurance firm, Paul Murphy Insurance Services. 

Fast becoming the one to watch in 2008, Giles Insurance has confirmed the acquisition of the Ton Pentre-based firm, and believes this latest move will not only help it to increase its presence in the North West, but add yet more weight to an ambitious growth strategy currently underway.

Mike Jones, manager at Giles Insurance, said: “We are in the process of rolling out a company-wide expansion programme which will see us dramatically increase our presence on the high street. Expansion in Wales is very high on the agenda.

“Giles Insurance has a very strong reputation for service, quality and competitiveness, something which we look for in all of our potential acquisitions and which Paul Murphy Insurance Services mirrors at a local level. 

“We look forward to adding to the Giles portfolio in Wales, and to continuing our search for other viable business opportunities in the area.”

Paul Murphy, Managing Director of Paul Murphy Insurance Services, said: “Giles Insurance Brokers is one of the UK’s leading brokers, and as such, we are extremely pleased with this outcome. Our customers will continue to receive the same, professional advice with a personal touch, while benefitting from the far wider range of products and services Giles can offer.”
