First Actuarial opens seventh UK office

First Actuarial has opened its seventh office in the UK, based in Birmingham.

The office is set to open in April and will be headed up by former directors of Midlands-based Quattro Pensions Andrew Allsopp and Mark Frost.

First Actuarial managing partner David Joy said: "Last year, our revenue grew by 15% and this year we're firmly on track to exceed that. To build on this growth, while sustaining our client-first approach to service delivery, we're expanding into new locations. As one of the UK's major business hubs, offering a large pool of impressive finance professionals, Birmingham is the obvious choice."

Joy continued: "Our choice of Birmingham as an office location confirms our belief in the West Midlands as an important business centre. First Actuarial has grown exponentially over two decades, and we believe there is still a huge market for a firm like ours with a strong client-first service ethic. We're keen to hear from like-minded professionals who want to be a part of our success story."

Associate partner Andrew Allsopp added: "The Birmingham office brings us closer to many of our valued clients in the West Midlands. Birmingham's business district is a thriving and beautiful area of the city, and we're looking forward to being a part of it."

Senior actuary Mark Frost commented: "It's great to be joining a firm that has grown on the basis of its solid reputation for treating both staff and clients fairly. I'm looking forward to building up First Actuarial's presence in Birmingham."
