YORK independent insurance broker P B Curran has further expansion plans after completing four acquisitions since 2005.

The business has tripled its number of employees during that time and has moved from its city centre offices in High Petergate to larger premises in Osbaldwick.

Now the business is planning further expansion and has made three senior appointments.

Maureen Parker and Andrew Johnson have joined the firm’s commercial insurance team and Dawn Johnstone takes on the role of office manager.

Managing director, Edward Curran whose father Patrick founded the business in 1961, said: “Our priority is to ensure that we retain our traditional values of personal service and client contact as we grow.

“These new appointments will strengthen our business and give us the necessary resources to service our growing client base.”
