Leeds commercial broker “creating quality jobs” as it targets £50m premium in 2022

Newly launched commercial risk and insurance broker Attis Insurance has reported strong growth in its first nine months trading, as it looks to reach a £50m premium in 2022.

Since its launch in Leeds in February this year, has opened a total of six offices across the north, with a headcount of 75.

The firm is backed by chairman and industry veteran Joe Henderson, who sold his Leeds based, 30-year-established Henderson Insurance Broking Group to global professional services firm Aon for £90m in December 2017.

Since the launch of its Leeds head office, which is led by directors and former Henderson employees Keith Browne, Neil Beck and Justin Chadwick, Attis Insurance has opened five further offices to cover the Manchester, Halifax, Teesside, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire regions, with plans to open a London base next year.

Attis director Keith Browne said: “Our rapid growth is a reflection of our strategic drive to scale the business so that we can provide a really strong regional presence for commercial customers across the UK and across a range of industries.

“We are differentiating ourselves quite clearly from other brokers in the market, as a modern and dynamic business helping directors protect their balance sheets from risk with bespoke insurance cover planned properly by people who actually understand clients’ businesses and the sectors they work in.”

Further growth is planned for Attis Insurance into 2022 with more hires scheduled and potential organic acquisitions in the pipeline for the coming months.

Neil Beck added: “As we continue to recruit, creating quality jobs, in Leeds and across the north and Midlands, we are very much aware that we are aiming to be an employer of choice, creating the best brokerage by attracting and retaining the best people.

“We’re really proud of what our team has achieved in our first six months and by investing in people and their careers we hope to make the next six months and beyond even more successful.”
