Meet The Team
We are a team of experienced insurance professionals who provide our customers with expert advice, products, and services to protect their assets, employees, and income.
Owners, Mike and Dave Scanlan have arranged a wide spectrum of commercial insurance solutions for clients in the area for over 50 years.
Mike started in insurance in 1988 working for Prudential Assurance and was the local `Man from the Pru` based in Northallerton. He opened his first insurance office in Bedale in 1993 and has been based in Bedale for over 30 years. Mike has a wealth of experience providing help and assistance to anyone requiring insurance. When he’s not working, he loves researching his family history and has traced his Irish roots back to the early 1800’s. Unfortunately, this only helped confirm that he came from poor roots! He also enjoys reading and playing Canasta.
Dave started in insurance when he joined the family business, Scanlan Insurance Services in Bedale back in 2000. As Commercial Director he predominantly takes care of our larger Commercial customers but due to his broad experience he will also be able to assist with any other insurance query you may have. He enjoys coaching Junior Football and Cricket teams and is involved as a committee member in both the local Junior Football and Cricket Club. If he has any free time, he enjoys running 10k’s, long-distance walks and climbing mountains.
Jenny started in insurance in 1996 and has been with us since 2014 and is responsible for running the office on a daily basis. Jenny has a great deal of knowledge for all types of Personal and Commercial insurance and brings a wealth of experience to our business. She likes reading, walking and watching motorbike and car racing. Jenny also does voluntary dog-walking for the Cinnamon Trust which helps people exercise their dogs where they are unable to do so themselves.
