Bigger space for Quote Detective

AN EXPANDING specialist insurance broker has signed up to larger premises in Pontypool.

Having outgrown premises at Cwmbran’s Sprigboard Innovation Centre, Quote Detective has taken 4,000 sq ft of space at the Johnsey Estates-owned Mamhilad Park Estate.

Quote Detective currently employs 28 contact centre staff, but plans to grow staffing numbers to 65 by next year.

James Crawford, chief excutive of Johnsey Estates, said: “Technology concerns such as Quote Detective are at the top of our hitlist in terms of businesses we are looking to attract to locate to Mamhilad Park Estate.

“The park, with its unrivalled facilities, communications infrastructure and rural peaceful setting, is perfect for the type of work these high-technology businesses do, which is why we’re so pleased to welcome Quote Detective to Mamhilad Park Estate.”

David Harlow, chief executive of the phone-based insurance buisness, said: “We have plans to boost staffing levels up to 45-50 by Easter 2018 and to 65 by this time next year.

“The space that we have taken here at Mamhilad Park Estate, Pontypool, is ideal for our expanding needs. Johnsey Estates have been unbelievably accommodating in meeting our precise needs, for which we are very grateful. We have a wing of a building of approximately 4,000 sq ft and have the ability to expand onsite when the need arises.”
