Brunel Insurance Brokers is pleased to announce the opening of its tenth UK office, located in Hayle, Cornwall. The new location reflects the firm’s focus on serving clients within the marine and coastal sectors, a vital part of the regional economy.
This latest expansion strengthens Brunel’s presence in the Southwest and supports its continued growth strategy across the UK. By establishing a permanent base in Cornwall, Brunel is well positioned to offer local clients expert advice and tailored insurance solutions backed by national capability.
The Hayle office will be led by Brendon Ladner, an experienced insurance professional with deep ties to the local community and marine sector. We have already assembled a team of five colleagues, alongside Brendon with plans to double the headcount within the next 12 months as we continue to grow and invest in the region.
Brendon Ladner commented:
“I am delighted to be opening a new office in Hayle for one of the UK’s leading independent insurance brokers. Having lived in the area my whole life, I know that Cornwall is a unique county and Brunel recognise this, they understand the need to have a local office looking after the needs of the local community.
I chose to work with Brunel as they are an independent, customer-focused company who embed themselves within the communities they operate.”
Matt Harlin, Managing Director of Brunel Insurance Brokers, said:
“Our new office in Hayle is a significant step in our commitment to better serve clients in the Southwest. Cornwall has a proud maritime heritage and a thriving coastal economy. With Brendon leading the team, we’re excited to build strong relationships and deliver the high-quality, personal service Brunel is known for.”
This is Brunel’s third new office opening in 2025, following successful launches earlier this year in Cardiff and South Molton.
To mark the opening, a formal launch party will be taking place in October, where Brunel will welcome key clients, insurer partners, and local connections to celebrate the new office and its role within the community.
Brunel Insurance Brokers now operates ten offices across the UK, including locations in Bristol, Cardiff, Coventry, Hayle, London, South Molton, Stowmarket, and Weston-super-Mare, as well as others, with continued national growth underpinned by regional expertise and a commitment to integrity, service, and specialist knowledge.
