We’re proud to announce the opening of our first office in Bristol, marking an exciting new chapter for Thomas Carroll Group. As an independent insurance, risk, wealth management and Insurtech company, this move strengthens our presence in the South West and reinforces our commitment to supporting businesses in the region.
Opening on 1 May 2025, our new Bristol office will be led by Regional Director and Bristol native Scott Levett, and will bring together team members from across the Group. This includes specialists in employee benefits, health and safety and insurance broking, offering a fully integrated service under one roof.
“This is a significant step for us,” said Scott. “We’ve seen great success with our Hereford office, and now feels like the right time to build on that by establishing a base in Bristol. The response from local businesses has been incredibly positive, and we’re excited to bring something different to the market—true independence and a team that’s personally invested in doing what’s right.”
While many professional services firms have been absorbed by larger corporates, we remain proudly independent and employee-owned. This structure not only protects our culture and values, but it also empowers every member of our team to act with care, commitment, and accountability.
Scott will be joined by award-winning insurance broker Callum Higgins (UK Broker Awards, Young Broker of the Year), employee benefits consultant Matt Cooper and health and safety consultant Emma Childs.
Our Group Chief Commercial Officer, Gareth Cotty, added:
“Opening a Bristol office has been a long-standing ambition. We believe the city and surrounding area deserve access to independent, values-driven risk advice – something we’re uniquely positioned to deliver. As an employee-owned business, our independence is at the heart of everything we do, and it allows us to build deep, trusted relationships with clients and communities alike. We’re here for the long term and excited to grow in the South West.”
We look forward to welcoming our new and longstanding clients to our Bristol office and continuing to provide the trusted, personal service that defines Thomas Carroll.
