The new roles are predominantly customer service based and means the company’s headcount now exceeds 1,500 employees.

Carol Geldard, retail distribution director at Covéa Insurance, commented: “We’re fortunate to have a really fantastic team here at Covéa Insurance and it’s been great to create new opportunities for both our existing employees and those looking to join a growing business.”

Covéa Insurance’s rapid growth has also led to the company entering into the long-term lease of A&B mills, the last of the remaining ‘Great Mills’ to be renovated at Dean Clough.

The company has made a multi-million pound investment to sympathetically restore the six-storey structure.

he conversion of the 75,000sq ft. former 1840s carpet mill, into a bright, modern 21st century office space, will house the insurer’s current Halifax workforce of 650 and supports the company’s current and longer-term growth plans, with space for up to 850 employees at full capacity, cementing the insurer’s position as a major employer in the region.
