Harper Stairmand, the Dumfries-based commercial insurance broker which is part of JMG Group, is celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of success as it sets its sights on future growth.
Founded in 2015 as an appointed representative of GS Group, one of Scotland’s leading insurance brokers, Harper Stairmand has built a strong reputation for its customer-first approach and providing tailored insurance solutions for businesses across the UK. In 2023, it became part of the JMG Group, a top 25 UK insurance broker, which has strengthened its resources and enhanced its competitive position in the market.
Graeme Harper, founder of Harper Stairmand, says: “Reaching this milestone is testament to the dedication of our brilliant team and the trust our clients place in us. Over the last decade, we’ve been committed to meeting the unique insurance needs of our clients and we look forward to continuing this work.
“We’re excited to move ahead with our growth plans, by delivering excellent service to our clients and attracting talent to further enhance our team. We’re keen to build on the success of our first decade and we’re in a strong position to achieve further growth. We’re grateful for the support from JMG Group and GS Group as well as from GS Group founder George Stubbs, who championed us from the beginning. We also thank all our clients, many of whom have been with us from the get-go.”
Sean Fleming, GS Group managing director, says: “What stands Harper Stairmand out from the crowd is their talented and hard-working team. They are perfectly positioned and equipped to give the best possible service to their clients. It’s a fantastic achievement to get to 10 years in business and I have a feeling they’re just getting started. Impeccably led by Graeme, we’re delighted to play our small part in helping them reach their goals in the next chapter of their business journey.”
The acquisition by JMG Group gives Harper Stairmand the opportunity to diversify its services. In addition to its core commercial insurance solutions, the broker now provides clients with risk management, employee benefits, and fleet risk management services. The company remains focused on delivering high levels of customer service, underpinned by a dedicated claims team, finance broking team and technology designed to streamline processes.
