Insurance firm, TL Dallas, is expanding its footprint in North Yorkshire with a new presence in Harrogate.
The insurance broking, risk management and financial services group will operate from premises at 36 Victoria Avenue.
Caroline Pullich, group head of private clients at TL Dallas, will lead the firm’s high-net-worth client offering from the new Harrogate base, working alongside corporate account executive, James Bright, who will focus on supporting commercial clients across the region.
Pullich said: “Our expansion reflects both growing demand from existing clients and the company’s commitment to strengthening its presence in North Yorkshire.
“Harrogate has a vibrant professional and business community, and we have been working with clients here for decades.
“Establishing a dedicated presence at 36 Victoria Avenue allows us to build on those relationships, while also meeting new clients locally.
“We see this as an important step in our continued investment for growth. TL Dallas has always focused on providing clear, independent advice and personal service, and having a base in Harrogate means we can be even closer to the people and businesses we support.”
Bright added: “The town’s diverse economy made it a natural location for our next stage of development. Harrogate is home to a broad range of successful businesses, from professional services to healthcare and hospitality.
“Having a base in the town gives us an excellent platform to support both established organisations and growing companies with their insurance and risk management needs.”
TL Dallas already works with a number of firms in the area, including healthcare provider Vida Healthcare and Harrogate-based Haddletons Solicitors.
To mark the move, the firm has become a corporate patron of the Harrogate International Festival, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
Over the past five years, TL Dallas has expanded significantly acquiring a 40-strong team in Inverness, Elgin, and Orkney, which is now known as Nord Dallas and Caledonia Dallas respectively; launching specialist offices in Lincolnshire under the Dallas Scott Davey brand and North Yorkshire under the Dallas Wilding Drew brand; as well as opening a commercial and agricultural office in Cockermouth, Cumbria.
Founded in 1919, the group now employs more than 235 people across 15 offices throughout the UK.
