An independent insurance broking and risk management specialist has appointed new members of staff following growth.
TL Dallas opened its office on Lakeland Business Park in Cockermouth in May 2023 with a team of two.
Since then, Emma Irving and Lynne Taylor have been joined by Philip Jackson, Heather Wood and Karen Coombe, as well as appointing apprentice Talia Frazer.
Now Tracy Hickman and Anna Jones have joined TL Dallas, and the firm plans to recruit another commercial broker, as well as an account executive following new client wins in the commercial and agricultural sectors..
Tracy, who has almost 35 years industry experience, said: “I wanted to work for an independent broker that cares about its employees and clients.
“I’ve known Lynne all my working life and worked with other members of the TL Dallas team for many years, so it’s great to get everyone back together! I enjoy building long-lasting client relationships and always do my best for each and every client, which includes businesses of all sizes, as well as working for some farm clients.”
Anna has worked in the insurance industry for 13 years, starting out as an apprentice in personal insurance, before moving across to commercial client work.
Anna said: “Right from the first interview it immediately felt like home, with a positive and friendly atmosphere and a real dedication to prioritising individual clients’ needs and obtaining the most successful outcomes.”
Polly Staveley, managing director of TL Dallas, said: “Our Cockermouth office is a prime example of why it’s so important to have a local presence serving clients that operate across all industry sectors throughout Cumbria. Their experience levels really are unrivalled.”
