Coversure, the franchise network owned by Jensten Group, has opened a new office in London's Canary Wharf. The location marks the network's 10th new opening during the current financial year.
Justin Fevrier (pictured above) will lead the Canary Wharf operation. Fevrier has more than 15 years of experience in the insurance industry.
He began his broking career at a Coversure branch before moving into senior brokerage positions. He has now returned to the network to establish his own office under the Coversure brand.
The opening brings Coversure's total to more than 90 offices across the UK. The network describes itself as the country's largest insurance franchise, with a focus on business insurance for companies of varying sizes.
Jordan Maskel, network director at Coversure, said the expansion reflects ongoing efforts to combine national scale with local service delivery. He described the model as one that offers "national buying power with independent, local expertise, delivering the best of both worlds for UK businesses."
Maskel added that Fevrier's career path illustrates how the network supports professionals in developing their own operations. He said the structure is designed to assist "ambitious professionals, both in-house and external, in building successful businesses under the Coversure brand."
The network provides clients with access to specialist placement services, including capacity at Lloyd's of London. Maskel said this is paired with localised advice and service.
He described the franchise model as one built on "trust, local expertise and the shared commitment of every member to protect their local businesses when it matters most."
The Canary Wharf launch follows a period of consolidation activity within the Jensten Group. Earlier this month, Jensten completed three acquisitions, adding Broker One, Coversure Dudley and Mediprotect Healthcare to its portfolio.
Coversure Dudley has operated in its local area for 22 years, primarily supporting commercial clients with a focus on fleet and truck insurance. The acquisition marked the 14th from within the franchise network.
