Coversure Sudbury, the independent insurance brokerage based in Station Road, Sudbury is pleased to announce that Tom Bartleet, a highly experienced insurance professional and former CEO of Erskine Murray, has become an investor in the business.
Tom brings over 25 years of industry experience, including senior leadership roles at Willis Towers Watson and a strong track record of building and growing successful insurance businesses.
His investment marks an exciting step forward for Coversure Sudbury as the business continues to develop its commercial offering and strengthen its position in the local market.
Tom commented: "I'm delighted to be involved with Coversure Sudbury. It's a business with strong foundations, and I'm looking forward to supporting its continued growth and development. There is a real opportunity to build something high quality, focused on delivering excellent outcomes for clients."
Lee Parker, who founded Coversure Sudbury in 2007, said: "Having spent nearly 20 years building this business around genuine relationships and putting clients first, it's incredibly exciting to have someone of Tom's calibre recognise what we've created here. Winning the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award earlier this year showed us that the personal approach still matters deeply to our clients - and that's exactly the kind of business Tom is investing in. This gives us the opportunity to grow in a way that stays true to those values."
The investment also signals Coversure Sudbury's intention to grow further, including through selective acquisitions, and to provide a long-term home for clients and teams looking for a well-run, client-focused brokerage.
Coversure Sudbury specialises in commercial insurance for businesses, tradespeople, property owners, and commercial vehicle drivers across Sudbury and South Suffolk. Earlier this year the business was awarded the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award - the highest level of recognition from the independent customer review platform - in acknowledgement of consistently exceptional client feedback over multiple consecutive years.
