The business purchase will also see both of Tony Nakonecznyj’s long-serving employees Gill Langdon and Joanne Phillips transfer to Towergate Insurance Brokers in Swansea. Both have worked for the business for over 29 years and Tony will himself, be integrating with the Towergate team; taking up a consultant role, allowing for an even more seamless transition for clients.

“They share many of the same values as us in terms of providing great local service and really getting to know their clients, so we’re sure that their clients will feel very positive about the service they will be receiving.

“We are always looking to increase our offering within Wales, and encourage any third-party brokers interested in selling to get in touch.”

Tony Nakonecznyj, of Tony Nakonecznyj Insurance Brokers, said:
