WHAT MAKES
A GOOD WEBSITE?
ERIMUS CONTINUES EXPANSION
WITH NEW RECRUITS
E
rimus Insurance Brokers, the only Top
100 insurance broker with a Teesside
HQ, has created new jobs as it heads
for another record-breaking year by placing
in excess of £15m of premium into the UK
insurance market during 2016.
The Stockton-based firm is a specialist
business-to-business insurance broker whose
customers range from sole traders to multimillion pound global companies including
some of the region’s leading businesses.
Erimus has increased its workforce to 31
with the recruitment of Larissa Mathwin as
senior broker and Emma Hughes as new
business broker as the firm continues to win
business from around the region and beyond.
Commercial director Paul Davison believes
that the quality of the firm’s staff together
with combining a local base with a national
outlook gives them a clear edge over rival
brokers.
He said: “The key to our success is happy
staff providing great service and a competitive
product, but our USP is that we’re a Teesside
business.
“In a sector dominated by the national
firms, being competitive and providing good
service is a pre-requisite for doing business,
but we’re finding that regional businesses are
more aware than ever of the need to support
each other.
“Being the only Top 100 insurance broker
with a Teesside HQ means we benefit from
being local.”
Erimus is also a big supporter of local
charities and community groups whilst
practicing what they preach by using local
suppliers wherever possible.
“We spend money with our clients for
social and corporate events as we see the
value of keeping our money in the local
economy,” added Davison. “As we’ve grown,
we’ve also increased our support of local
charities.”
Davison is delighted with his new recruits
and believes the firm’s clients benefit from
dealing with motivated staff, all of whom
participate in a long-term incentive plan.
“We’re always looking for talented and
ambitious staff who can help us keep Teesside
on the map from an insurance perspective,”
he said.
