TWO staff members with more than 40 years experience combined in the insurance field have joined a Weston company.

Marsh & Company acquired the independent commercial insurance division of Regency Insurance Brokers a year ago.

The company, which is based in Alexandra Parade, has had a very successful first year and is now expanding by taking on two new staff members.

Andrew Maxwell, who has just joined the team, has 30 years experience of commercial insurance broking, working with national and local clients.

The other new team member is Gavin Hughes, who is ACII LLB qualified.

He spent 13 years with Allianz Insurance in Bristol, followed by 10 years of dealing with clients and brokers in Gloucestershire.
