INDEPENDENT insurance broking and risk management specialist, TL Dallas, is expanding after appointing two insurance brokers that specialise in the health and care industry.

Account executives Rico Young and James Bright have joined TL Dallas, which sponsors one of the stands at Bradford City’s Valley Parade stadium, from Marsh Commercial.

They have almost 25 years’ combined industry experience and will be spearheading the firm’s health and care specialism.

Polly Staveley, managing director at TL Dallas, said: “James and Rico are professional, technical brokers who have been working in the health and care sector for over 20 years.

“They will help us grow our market share in the health and care sector working with individual and large-scale multi-site care homes, children’s homes, foster care agencies, hospices, retirement homes, domiciliary care and supported living providers, charities, dental practices and GP surgeries, as well as with providers of complementary and alternative therapies.”

Tim Mortimer, head of commercial at TL Dallas, said: “Our commercial division is going from strength to strength with a 15 per cent uplift in business over the last financial year. Welcoming Rico and James to the team is a real highlight for us.

“Both are dedicated, professional brokers who put clients first and have the technical knowledge and expertise to get the best policies in place for our clients.”
