A HAMPSHIRE MP has opened the new offices of a leading insurance broker.

Steve Brine MP for Winchester visited the One Insurance Solution office in Chandler’s Ford where he cut the ribbon to officially open the building.

The company, which is part of the Brightside Group, welcomed Mr Brine and managing director David Sweeney showed him around the space where the MP chatted with members of staff.

The business is a top 20 UK insurance broker that delivers car, home and business insurance across the UK.

Their brands include One Insurance, Commercial Vehicle Direct, eCar and eBike.

The group also owns a number of specialist brands, including IQED medical reporting, Quote Exchange, and ProSport, a specialist insurer for sports people.

Mr Brine welcomed One Insurance Solution’s strong commitment to grow the business and recruit locally.

On the day of the visit, there was a special sales day. Their sales days are themed and this one had a horse-racing angle linked to the Cheltenham Gold Cup where staff dressed to impress as if going to the races.

Teams had their own horses and raced against each other to hit targets and win prizes.

David Sweeney, One Insurance Solution MD, said: “We are delighted to welcome Steve to our offices at Tollgate in Chandler’s Ford. One Insurance Solution is a fast growing broker with plenty of opportunities and training for people with ambition and drive.”
