We are confident that the construction industry will continue to grow due to housing demands and the government’s spending on affordable housing and infrastructure which brings plenty of opportunity for both our business and PIB Group. We’re looking forward to working with our new extended team while continuing to deliver as a client focused and cost-efficient construction broker that provides consistent and class leading specialist insurance services.”
