After months of planning and renovation, we were delighted to open our new office in Manchester last month, expanding our geographic footprint in the north and creating 150 new jobs.

We're also expanding our team in Sussex, creating 82 new jobs at our two offices in Haywards Heath, with plans to continue growth in the future.

The expansion of the business follows a period of continued investment into the company, which has enabled high levels of growth in the past few years.

As a result, new employees will be joining a multi-award winning team, having won the Training, Excellence and Impact award at the Insurance Times Awards 2015, Employer of the Year award at the Gatwick Diamond Awards 2015, as well as being accredited in the Sunday Times annual 'Best Companies to Work For' report as 'one to watch'.

Andy James, our UK CEO, said: "Our Haywards Heath offices have grown rapidly over the past few years making it a vibrant and exciting place to work. At 1^ST CENTRAL we pride ourselves on being a great employer and we hope that by expanding our Haywards Heath team we will encourage the next generation of talent to start a career in insurance."

Successful candidates will be eligible to a wealth of benefits, including a competitive pension scheme and life insurance, bonus scheme, childcare vouchers, discounted gym membership and season ticket loans.
