It’s confirmed: London General Insurance is moving to Mitcheldean
London General Insurance (the European underwriting company of The Warranty Group who is a leading provider of insurance products and after care solutions to the European market) is pleased to confirm that they are moving to the Vantage Point Business Village, Mitcheldean.
The first phase of training will take place in mid November 2007, with further phases in January and February 2008.
Operations Director Mr Kenny said “This is a very exciting time for our company and we are looking forward to making the first job offers in the next few weeks.”
LGI will be taking space at the former Xerox plant and renovating works starts immediately. £4 million pounds will be spent to turn it into an attractive, modern office including a high-tech call centre.
Mr Kenny added: “We were very taken by the impact that Xerox seemed to have on the Mitcheldean area and its prominence as an employer of choice for the local workforce.
“Many years on, people still talk about Xerox’s importance to the community, it is our objective to replicate this, all be it on a smaller scale, as the employer of choice.”
