Great American Europe announces new European HQ

Great American Europe has relocated its European headquarters to Temple Quay in the heart of Bristol, UK.

Julian Bartlett, Great American Europe Group CEO, commented: “We have been based in Bristol for over 25 years and from our location in Queen Square have seen the business steadily grow and we now have clients based all over Europe.

“With exciting plans for even greater growth in the future, the time came to look for a new Head Office location that can give us the room to expand, have great transport links and at the same time where we can create a more modern, vibrant workplace that will be a pleasure for both team members and business partners to spend time.

“After an extensive search we were delighted to find a location and building that perfectly met the brief and allowed us to stay in Bristol. So, we are pleased to announce our new European headquarters will be in the upcoming and redeveloped Temple District at One Temple Quay, Temple Back East, Bristol BS1 6DZ.”

Since its early days as an administrator providing outsourced insurance solutions to the UK leasing industry, Great American Europe has grown into an insurance group that includes a service company and two A+ rated insurance companies, delivering a wide range of insurance solutions, across multiple product lines, throughout the UK and Europe. It is a member of the much larger Cincinnati, Ohio (US)-based Great American Insurance Group.

“We are thrilled to be creating a state-of-the-art working environment for our team, and a wonderful new venue to welcome our clients and partners, all within close proximity of Temple Meads station and the main routes into the city,” Bartlett continued.

“Whilst ensuring our team members have flexibility in how they work is hugely important to us, we hope the new premises will encourage them to spend more time together in the office and the city, helping foster the closer collaboration and team spirit that will fuel our continued business growth.

“As a proud Bristolian I am absolutely delighted our European headquarters will stay in the city, and as our business continues to thrive, I look forward to creating career opportunities for local people and folks from the wider West Country. On behalf of everyone at Great American Europe, we look forward to welcoming colleagues, clients and partners to our wonderful new Head Office.”
