BALENS SPECIALIST INSURANCE BROKERS
Malvern
Specialty: Health & Wellness professionals
Formed in 2003 by H & L Balen to focus on the insurance business, Balens caters specifically to health & wellness and beauty professionals. The business is located in Malvern, which explains its choice of specialisation, as the place is known as a spa town. The company emphasizes the need for training its staff by having health professionals conduct sessions on their day-to-day issues, and having the staff attend seminars on legal issues concerning certain medical practices. Policies are offered for occupational therapists, psychotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors, to name a few. Following the footsteps of his grandfather and his mother, managing director David Balen joined the industry in 1970 and became a proprietor in 1981. Apart from running the business, Balen is also a trained healer involved in various organisations in this field.
