Insurer QBE aims to be the centre of attention

The Leeds office of QBE covers a wide geographical area from Yorkshire to the North East of England, including Sheffield, Scunthorpe, York, Leeds and Newcastle.

It opened in January 2008 following the acquisitions of Iron Trades and D A Constable, which had their own offices in the city before becoming part of QBE.

Cath Timberlake joined the Yorkshire operation as commercial manager in December 2010 having had experience in a number of different broker development roles within the region.
