The business set up in the city back in 1988 with just four employees and has grown steadily to reach its current size of 20. Having started in the attic of 4 Queen Victoria Road, the team soon outgrew the space and moved into nearby number 12 in 1992, where they have been ever since.
Headed up by Kathryn Moon — who joined Gallagher in 1996 and became managing director in 2015, after founding member Cheryll Rawbone moved into the position of chairman — Gallagher now provides insurance and risk management solutions for businesses of all sizes, from SMEs through to large corporates. In Coventry, it offers expertise across a wide breadth of sectors, with particular specialisms in technology and life sciences, education and med-tech. And, as part of a UK-wide network of more than 50 branches and global network able to offer client capabilities in more than 150 countries, Gallagher’s Coventry team really can help clients manage and mitigate any risk, of any size, anywhere.
Kathryn’s vision, to be the broker of choice for businesses across Coventry and Warwickshire, has seen her implement an ambitious growth plan to attract new clients to the current roster, which includes Wasps Rugby Football Club. Part of the strategy includes bringing top talent on board and the company’s success has helped to facilitate a number of new appointments this year.
Kathryn says: “It’s fantastic to see the business flourish year on year and mark this 30th milestone year by enjoying one of our most successful years to date. I look forward to leading the business on the same upward path by continuing to provide our customers with the tailored insurance solutions they need to protect and run their business effectively.”
