Insurance company Aioi Nissay Dowa Europe is creating more than 150 new jobs at its North Tyneside base.
The motor insurance provider needs more staff at its hub at Quorum, Longbenton – where it already employs around 400 people – to support its relationship with subsidiary firm Toyota Insurance Services. AND-E is a division of MS&AD, Asia’s largest insurer, which supports a number of brands, including Toyota Insurance Services, Lexus Insurance Services, Insurethebox and Tesco Bank Box Insurance.
The company has been expanding its presence in the region since acquiring Insurethebox in 2015. As well as staff at Quorum the company has a further 200 colleagues at its London head office and in Epsom, Surrey. The new roles form part of expansion of Aioi Nissay Dowa Europe (AND-E) in the North East, and the firm said it is creating a range of roles in customer services, claims management and specialist support functions for customers of Toyota and Lexus insurance products.
