Thomas Carroll, independent insurance, risk, wealth management and insurtech company, is to open its first office in Bristol on May 1, 2025 in Aztec West.
Headed up by Thomas Carroll’s regional director and Bristol native Scott Levett, the office will also house team members that represent the whole Thomas Carroll Group, including employee benefits, health and safety and of course insurance broking.
Scott said of the new office opening: “This is an exciting time for us to be opening a new office in Bristol. Thomas Carroll already has a very successful office in Hereford, and we thought the time was right to make this important move and establish a base in the south west of England.
“We’re here to serve the Bristol business community and believe we offer what they are looking for in the current climate. Many other brokers and professional services companies such as ours have been bought up in recent years, but Thomas Carroll remains fiercely independent. We are now very proud to be employee-owned, and the news that we are moving to Bristol to serve this area has been warmly welcomed by the local businesses I have been chatting to.”
Scott added: “I believe that Bristol is an area that is underserved by the services we offer, but we are committed to the region as well as the long-term growth of our business here.”
Scott will be joined at the Bristol office by insurance broker Callum Higgins, who scooped Young Broker of the Year award at last year’s prestigious UK Broker Awards, employee benefits consultant Matt Cooper and health and safety consultant Emma Childs.
Gareth Cotty, Thomas Carroll’s Group Chief Commercial Officer, said of the move to Bristol: “We are really pleased to have found an office space that we can build our client base from in Bristol. Opening an office in Bristol has been a long-held ambition for us at Thomas Carroll Group, as we believe the local market deserves to be served by independent risk advice, driven by doing the right thing for clients, colleagues and communities in the region.
“Thomas Carroll is an employee owned business and as such our independence is part of our DNA and we will remain so for generations to come. We believe our independence makes us stand out from the crowd, especially in the South West market. Our EO status also gives clients assurance they are talking to consultants that understand the pressure and challenges that business owners face. We are looking forward to working closely with clients, new and established, and see our south west team go from strength to strength.”
