Swinton, one of the UK's leading high street insurance brokers, is looking to buy brokers in the Swindon area as part of its plans to increase its presence in the region.

The company, which has 355 high street branches across the UK including one in Commercial Road says it is committed to opening local branches and employing local people.

Swindon has a well-established business community and already boasts a number of commercial and personal-lines brokers.

Swinton believes that its expansion through acquisition in the Swindon area will enable the company to offer customers a wider choice of services and enhance the strong reputation Swinton has earned in delivering customers competitive quotes and consistent quality of service.

Kelly Ogley, head of acquisition for Swinton, will play a pivotal role in incorporating new companies into the Swinton family.
