INSUREPAIR Announce Expansion Into Glasgow

Edinburgh-based fire and flood restoration specialist, INSUREPAIR ®, has announced the create of more than a dozen new jobs as it expands it operation into Glasgow.

One of Scotland's leading all-trades reinstatement companies, INSUREPAIR has said that increasing demand along the M8 corridor has prompted a significant scaling up of the business, with the Glasgow base set to open in Woodside Place within the next fortnight.

The move is expected to create up to 15 jobs in the coming year, with the new office located in a stunning converted Georgian townhouse in the city centre.

Widely recognised as the authority in regards to insurance reinstatement in Scotland, INSUREPAIR will now be able to increase its focus on its west coast operation, something managing director Richard O'Donnell has been considering for a while.

"This is a proud moment for us as a team," said Mr O'Donnell, who has helped INSUREPAIR become an industry leader after establishing the firm in 2003.

"Our growth has been possible by focusing on effort and planning. We have a firm belief in our ability to perform and we regularly achieve the highest performing insurance contractor status while working for many insurers, loss adjusters and building repair networks."

Also covering Fife and the central belt, the firm is one of Scotland's preferred insurance reinstatement building contractors and currently directly employs 24 permanent members of staff, supported by 15 specialist sub-contractors.

Privately owned, INSUREPAIR is approved and accredited by major insurance companies, loss adjusters and building repair networks throughout the UK.

"We take pride in bringing properties back to their pre-incident condition and have always been able to provide robust and reliable customer service to our clients in Glasgow from our main office in Edinburgh," added Mr O'Donnell.

"With the growing demand in the west, it makes complete sense to now also have a base in what is Scotland's biggest city.

"It's a hugely exciting time for the business and I'm really looking forward to seeing where the next stage of this journey takes us as we build on the growth plans we have in place."
