Based in Port Tennant and Pontardawe, this year we are celebrating our 25th Anniversary.

Partners Anthony Fox and Steve Corney have come a long way, since establishing the company in May 1986, with the help of a £40 a week salary guaranteed by the Enterprise Allowance Scheme.

We started off with no clients and now have over 6,000 customers on our books. We are pleased that the majority of our customers have stuck with us over the years, in fact we still have our very first customer Andrew Vaughan, from Manselton on the books, who took out car insurance with us.

Our original premises was a run down office in the old Morris Brothers buildings in Ysgol Street, Port Tennant. We now have our head office in Port Tennant Road and in James Street Pontardawe.

When we started there were around 30 companies similar to ourselves, now we are one of the few High Street, brokerage companies left who still offer a walk-in office facility. Our emphasis is still on face-to-face sales, combined with a personal, professional expert service.

East Side Insurance Services has remained an independent brokerage company authorised and regulated by the FSA (Financial Services Authority). From our original roots of providing motor insurance, the firm has expanded with the needs of its customers to offer a wide range of personal insurance services that include household, travel and property ownership.

At Eastside we offer a full range of commercial insurance for landlords, hotels, shops, offices, pubs, factory units and motor fleets, providing advice on property liability and professional indemnity.

The business has gone from strength to strength gaining a reputation as an independent insurance intermediary, providing impartial advice to customers.

In 2003 Eastside Insurance Services expanded further by taking over the business of Roger Hanford Insurance Services in Pontardawe, retaining the office and staff. This was followed a year later by the acquisition of Times Financial of Cwmllynfell, extending our operations into the Swansea Valley. 
Our Pontardawe office provides a bilingual service and is managed by Margaret Howells, assisted by Huw Howells.

Eastside Insurance Services have continued to be part of the community and we see ourself as a local firm offering a personalised services to customers. We regularly sponsor local community activities in Swansea, Pontardawe and Gorseinon.

In an age of faceless telephone services, Eastside Insurance Services continues to provide a personally delivered service that puts the customers first and foremost.
