A family and employee-owned insurance broker in Cumbria has expanded with the appointment of an experienced commercial insurance broker.
Kelly McCartney has relocated to Cumbria from Dumfries, where she previously worked for James Hallam insurance brokers, to join TL Dallas.
The nine-strong team at TL Dallas is based at Lakeland Business Park in Cockermouth.
TL Dallas expanded into Cumbria with just two people in May 2023. Emma Irving, Lynne Taylor, Philip Jackson, Heather Wood, Karen Coombe, Tracy Hickman and Anna Jones were all former colleagues before they joined TL Dallas alongside apprentice, Talia Frazer.
Emma said: “We are in a privileged position to have more than 200 years combined industry experience between us, and we work for a fabulous range of clients who value our expertise and guidance.
“We have quickly grown in Cumbria and were keen to recruit another experienced and reliable commercial broker to help manage our ever-growing client base.”
Kelly said: “I wanted to join TL Dallas as it’s an independent business. I really liked its ethos and commitment to delivering a personal service from 15 regional offices.
“Having worked in an account handler role within the schemes division at my last firm, I’ve had clients that operate in varying industry sectors and helped them with every aspect of insurance, from buildings insurance to cyber insurance and everything in between!”
