Specialist insurance brokers Carole Nash have announced plans to hire 169 new staff, mostly for their Altrincham-based headquarters.
The company, which provides insurance cover for more than 300,000 motorcycles – around 25% of the market – currently employs more than 400 staff.
The new recruits will predominantly be working across the company’s sales and customer services departments.
David Newman, CEO, said: “As we continue to grow at a fast pace, providing more and more motorcycle and specialist car owners with our insurance solutions, we need to boost our workforce to cope with the additional demand and ensure that we can consistently deliver an excellent service to our customers, which is one of the things Carole Nash is famed for.
“We’ve actually increased our overall headcount by 43 people compared to this time last year, representing an additional £1 million investment for our business.”
Carole Nash is working closely with recruitment agencies to identify and evaluate suitable candidates. The insurance firm is also offering a ‘recommend-a-friend’ incentive, whilst a series of dedicated adverts is running on local radio stations.
“To maintain our high standards, all our new recruits go through an extensive training program, developed and ran by our senior colleagues, before they officially start their new roles,” added Newman.
