Leading independent insurance brokers Towergate Insurance Brokers continues to strengthen its Cardiff claims team with the addition of two new starters.

Claire Richards has joined Towergate as a claims team leader and Hannah Hawkes joins as a claims executive, both leaving previous roles in Thomas Carroll.

Claire has a wealth of experience in large corporate clients and complex losses and will bring this to her new management role, where she will lead a team of ten.

Hannah, one of these ten, will aid Claire’s team with her in-depth industry knowledge and excellent client relations.

Discussing her new role, Claire said:

“I’m very happy to have joined such a well-known business as Towergate, and the opportunities it provides have already lead to exceptional personal growth. Stepping into a management role means I am facing new challenges every day and I’m excited to see where it will take me. I look forward to continuing to develop alongside my great team and helping them along the way too.”

Hannah said:

“I’m very excited to have joined Towergate with Claire and look forward to working with her in the claims team in Cardiff. While working within such an exciting field, Towergate has given me the confidence to expand my knowledge and work with new clients, and I can’t wait to see what else is to come.”

Justin Newton, Area Managing Director Wales at Towergate Insurance Brokers, said:

“We are thrilled to welcome both Claire and Hannah to the team in Cardiff, further expanding our expertise and developing strong client relationships.”
