Fintech insurance firm doubles UK head office space in Leeds

Insurance comparison website, Beprotectedinsurance.com, has doubled its office space in Leeds to 5,000 sq ft in Wellington Park House.

The company has taken three floors in the office, located on Thirsk Row, near the train station. The site will operate as the fintech company’s UK head office and customer contact centre.

Adrian Watson, managing director of beprotectedinsurance.com, said: “It is an ideal location for our national headquarters. Leeds is rapidly growing as a global centre for fintech and has a long history of providing great customer service through contact centres, with pioneers like First Direct leading the way.

“The larger office will help us grow and will be refitted to provide a state-of-the-art, creative, working environment.”

The company, which recently announced the creation of 100 new jobs and claims it has already filled half of the roles, is currently recruiting a wide range of digital roles including developers and social media managers.

Experts have named Leeds as one of the leading Fintech centres in the UK, in a sector worth an estimated £20bn annually (UKTI).
