It’s one of the world’s largest insurance brokers – and now our fourth, and final, partner on Dorset Biz News.

We’re proud to welcome Gallagher as our first official Insurance Partner.

Gallagher’s Poole office joins fellow partners Frettens Solicitors (Legal), Fireworx (Digital) and Saffery Champness (Accountancy).

Matt Williams, Head of Office, Gallagher Poole, pictured left, was presented with a framed certificate to mark the new partnership.

Matt said: “One of our key objectives for Gallagher Poole for 2022 is to increase the profile of our office and the expertise we can offer to the local business community.

“We have watched with interest the achievements and growth of Dorset Biz News over the last couple of years.

“When the opportunity arose to become the official Insurance Partner it was clear that working with Dorset Biz News would, without question, meet this objective.

“It was an easy choice to make.

“We very much look forward to working together, alongside our friends at Saffery Champness, Frettens Solicitors and Fireworx.”
