Tony Tasker, account executive

The latest addition to the team, Tony entered the world of insurance in 1990 on a fixed term contract and the rest as they say is history.

With 22 years of broking experience, he has dealt with a diverse range of clients, but his specialism and passion is in the automotive industry where he is proud to have acted for some of the most prestigious companies in Gloucestershire, from motor traders to manufacturers of parts to motorsports teams, including the current Formula 1 World Champions.

A long-time supporter of Gloucester Rugby, Tony attends as many games as he can, but as a resident of Kingsholm he enjoys nothing more than hearing The Shed in full voice from his garden. When he's not watching rugby he likes to attend motorsports events, particularly those that clients are involved in.
