Dennis Walker Insurances are delighted to announce exciting news which will benefit their clients.

As from Monday 31st of October they will be joining forces with A-Plan Insurance, which they believe to be the UK’s premier community-based insurance broker.

Dennis R Walker Insurances was formed in Coleshill in 1966 by Dennis Walker from offices in Church Hill, then moving to the High Street, and eight years ago into their current offices at Lake House, Parkfield Road. The vast majority of clients have been with them for many years, some from the very beginning and many have become friends.

Dennis decided on a well-earned retirement and the business continued under the excellent stewardship of his son and daughter, Andrew and Alison. Knowing their clients and offering them a comprehensive range of leading insurance products to suit their requirements has always been very important to the team at Dennis Walker and is one of the reasons A-Plan has been selected.

Andrew Walker commented; “The insurance markets and products available together with our client’s needs have changed greatly over recent years. Joining forces with A-Plan, who were recently voted ‘Insurance Broker of the Year’ at the prestigious British Insurance Awards, allows access to a much broader panel of insurers which will be a benefit to our clients. A-Plan work in a very similar way to us, have similar values and are committed to delivering a wide range of market leading products as well as top drawer service to their clients, which we have always strived to do.”

Dennis Walker Insurances will merge with A-Plan’s local Shirley branch located at 149-151 Stratford Road, Shirley, B90 3AY. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm and Saturday morning from 9.00am to 12.00pm.

Alison Calder was keen to add, “A-Plan have been carefully selected to ensure our clients receive the same high quality professional and personal service they always have. Myself, Andrew and the team will be available to discuss any questions or concerns that clients may have. We can be contacted on our existing email addresses, by calling 01675 462682, and from 31st October at A-Plan Shirley on 0121 733 4848. We believe our clients will find the transition seamless.”

Alex Webb, Branch Manager of A-Plan Shirley, was pleased to add, “We are thrilled and delighted to welcome Andrew, Alison and the team to the A-Plan family and to carry on the excellent work that Dennis Walker Insurances have undertaken over the past 56 years. We are certain that we will be a great fit for their clients, and we look forward to continuing to serve them for many years to come.”
