broking headquarters<br />
in West Midlands<br />
Kingfisher Insurance are delighted to announce the<br />
opening of a new headquarters in Rubery, Birmingham.<br />
<strong>The</strong> investment in a new, dynamic workplace reinforces<br />
Kingfisher’s position as a leading UK provider of specialist<br />

across the country.<br />
<strong>The</strong> West Midlands HQ will also be home to Kingfisher’s<br />
Commercial and Non-Standard Home Insurance teams, alongside<br />
their classic and specialist vehicle insurance brand, Peter James<br />
Insurance. <strong>The</strong> new office brings together staff who previously<br />
worked in different premises, allowing them to share ideas and<br />
collaborate in providing a high-quality service to their clients.<br />
James Stuart, Managing Director for Kingfisher Insurance<br />
commented: “<strong>The</strong> new HQ places Kingfisher in the heartlands of<br />
UK motoring heritage, with the West Midlands home to historical<br />
marques including MG, Triumph, Rover, and many more!<br />
It’s an exciting time for Kingfisher Insurance and the new office<br />
space allows our teams to come together, providing opportunity<br />
for collaboration and innovation.”<br />
Jacquie Boast, CEO of NSM UK (parent company of Kingfisher<br />
Insurance) added: “<strong>The</strong> new headquarters demonstrates our<br />
commitment to invest in our operations, advancing our strategy<br />
to be the UK’s leading specialist insurance broker. Our new<br />
home in Birmingham, one of the UK’s main insurance hubs, is an<br />
ideal base for our highly skilled and experienced teams to work<br />
together.”<br />
