Construction insurance business expands with office openings and recruitment drive

A Warrington-based structural warranty specialist has expanded by opening two new offices, and recruiting eight more staff.

Following a Summer of steady business growth, culminating in two record months for sales, Advantage Home Construction Insurance (AHCI) announced its growth plans to manage the significant increase in new business enquiries being received each month.

The new offices will be opening in Horsham and Birmingham to accommodate the growing team.

The company also signed a long-term deal with an A-rated insurance carrier in August.

The company is known for providing latent defects cover for projects ranging in size from individual self-builds to £100m developments, and the deal with new A-rated capacity forms part of the firm’s long-term plans for the sustainable growth of the business.

Director of sales, David Sumner, said: “It’s a credit to our hardworking and dedicated team that we’ve not only continued to serve all of our existing clients throughout the pandemic, we’ve also celebrated two record months for sales during a challenging period for all businesses.

“Building upon this success, we’ve recruited eight new members of staff to join our sales team, and we’re continuing our recruitment drive.

“Opening new offices in Horsham and Birmingham will help to ensure that we have the space we need for the business’s ongoing expansion.”

Following a Summer of business growth, Advantage’s directors are poised to take on more new staff throughout Autumn, with demand for structural warranties remaining strong.
