TL Dallas appoints new trade credit director

TL Dallas Group, the independent insurance and risk management firm, has welcomed Peter Hodgson as director of trade credit.

Peter joins the Bradford-headquartered firm to work alongside Simon Hyde, who will retire in early 2025 after over 25 years at TL Dallas.

Peter said: “TL Dallas has an enviable client base, many of which have been with the firm for decades, and it is renowned in the market for providing a personal service and having a dedicated and knowledgeable trade credit team.

“I’m looking forward to helping the firm continue to grow, whilst supporting businesses of all sizes by protecting them from the risk of non-payment and late payment, which is often a key reason why companies fail.” 

With more than 50 years of experience providing trade credit insurance across the UK, TL Dallas serves clients from Shetland to Devon, emphasising independence and personalised customer service.

Polly Staveley, group managing director at TL Dallas, added: “We are thrilled that Peter is joining us.

“He was looking for a new challenge and given his experience in helping to grow independent insurance broker Reynolds, both before and after its sale, together with his excellent knowledge of the market, we feel he is very well placed to lead and grow our trade credit team, who are based in our Bradford, Falkirk and Glasgow offices.”
