Rapidly-growing broker Be Wiser Insurance has opened a new office in Swindon which is seen to employ more than 350 people.
 
The company has already hired over 50 staff members for its Edison Park office and will create 300 more in the next two years, the Swindon Advertiser reported.
 
According to the report, the new Swindon office is a key to the broker’s ongoing expansion plans.
 
“Swindon is the perfect place to set up our second office and grow our business,” Be Wiser financial director Andrew Dunkerley was quoted as saying in the report.
 
“Already we have been busy recruiting bright, motivated staff from the local area and we look forward to taking on even more in coming years,” he also said.
 
Local MPs and councillors heaped praises on the insurance broker for deciding to open a new office in Swindon.
 
“I am pleased that Be Wiser is the latest big business to move to the area, bringing with it job opportunities that will boost the jobs market and the economy,” Robert Buckland, MP for South Swindon, told the Swindon Advertiser.
 
One of the fastest growing personal lines brokers in the UK, Be Wiser Insurance currently has more than 700 employees at its headquarters in Andover, Hampshire.
