Insurance broker
Towergate/Dawson Whyte has reportedly moved to new headquarters in Belfast after amalgamating two other offices in the Northern Ireland capital.
Citing letting agent Osborne King, the
Belfast Telegraph said the firm took the entire second floor of the Elizabeth House building in east Belfast. Its two former offices were previously located in a multi-storey terrace on Malone Road, Belfast, and a shop-front unit on Frances Street in Newtownards.
“Towergate/Dawson Whyte found it difficult to source large, open-plan offices in Belfast of a sufficiently high quality with ample car parking,” said Chris Sweeney, of Osborne King, as quoted by the report.
“Rarely does a modern building of this size with sufficient car parking outside the city centre come to the letting market. Therefore Elizabeth House met the company’s needs, having been newly-refurbished and possessing over 50 car parking spaces,” Sweeney added.
The firm is part of London-based Towergate Insurance. According to
The Irish News, the former has other offices in Dungannon and Larne, and employs some 80 people across Northern Ireland.
