Financial technology firm set to create 100 jobs

Beprotectedinsurance.com, is recruiting at all levels as it seeks to triple in size in response to customer demand. Alistair Moncrieff, the chief executive of beprotectedinsurance.com, which already employs 31 staff in Leeds, said: “Our research tells us that consumers find buying insurance unnecessarily complex and they often feel they aren’t getting the right deal. We combine the latest technology and good old fashioned service to source the best deal for the individual. It seems to be working, as we’ve already grown tenfold in the last twelve months. Leeds is the perfect location to support our growth.”

The company, which established a Leeds base 18 months ago, had a turnover of around £1m last year. Mr Moncrieff believes the turnover figure could reach £4m this year.
