Aviva expands Glasgow presence with new, larger city centre office

Aviva has announced it is moving its trading offices in Glasgow’s city centre to a new, larger and more central location for brokers.

The new offices, at 139 St Vincent Street in the heart of Glasgow’s financial district, can accommodate 26 employees and will serve as a base for Aviva’s mid-market, distribution, schemes and GCS teams. The larger offices provide increased desk capacity over Aviva’s previous city centre trading offices and will allow regional trading and distribution teams to work from one office.

The offices will be led by Maureen Edgar, Branch Manager, and Stephanie McCombe, Regional Broker Development Manager.

Aviva’s expanded presence in Glasgow builds on the April opening of Aviva’s offices in Southampton and Chelmsford, giving Aviva one of the widest geographical footprints in the UK, with 14 physical trading sites.

Dave Martin, MD, Commercial and Chief Distribution Officer, said, “Being visible and responsive are strategic imperatives for us, so expanding our presence in Glasgow makes absolute sense and will enable us to have greater face-to-face interactions with our brokers, which we know they value. Our new office in Glasgow is an exciting next step in our growth and will bring decision-making even closer to our Scottish brokers and customers.”

Aviva also has offices in Maxim Park, just east of Glasgow, which will continue to serve brokers.
