The only independent insurance broker on the Shetland Islands is expanding ahead of its 30th anniversary next year.
TL Dallas opened in Lerwick in April 1993 and recently appointed Liam Peterson, bringing the team to six.
The Shetland team is headed up by Ruth Newbold, and is part of the wider TL Dallas Group, a family-owned business with 10 other offices across the UK - including Edinburgh, Glasgow and Falkirk.
Newbold said: “We have recently expanded our team to six dedicated insurance brokers, with the appointment of Liam, and five of us have over 100 years’ of combined experience between us.”
TL Dallas works for clients across all sectors, but has particular expertise in the contracting, marine engineering, shipping, transport and technology sectors.
Polly Staveley, managing director at TL Dallas, said: “When many companies are consolidating offices into central call centres, we understand the true value of having a local presence and are fully committed to serving the people and businesses of the Shetland Islands.
“Ruth, Lynne, Joanne, Rory, Fiona and Liam really care about their clients, and this shows through the number of clients who remain with us year after year, as well as the new client wins achieved this year.
“As the office continues to grow, we hope to create more local job opportunities for people in the Shetland Islands and look forward to many more years helping businesses and individuals with their insurance needs as well as supporting the local community.”
