New Head Of Trade Credit At TL Dallas

A highly experienced industry professional has joined the trade credit division of independent insurance and risk management firm, TL Dallas Group.

Peter Hodgson is joining the Bradford headquartered family and employee-owned firm as Director of Trade Credit. Peter will work alongside Simon Hyde, who has been with TL Dallas for over 25 years, and has been leading the 12-strong team over the last few years, until Simon’s retirement in early 2025.

Group Managing Director at TL Dallas, Polly Staveley, said:

“We are thrilled that Peter is joining us. He was looking for a new challenge and given his experience in helping to grow independent insurance broker, Reynolds, both before and after its sale, together with his excellent knowledge of the market, we feel he is very well placed to lead and grow our trade credit team, who are based in our Bradford, Falkirk and Glasgow offices.”

Peter said:

“TL Dallas has an enviable client base, many of which have been with the firm for decades, and it is renowned in the market for providing a personal service and having a dedicated and knowledgeable trade credit team. I’m looking forward to helping the firm continue to grow, whilst supporting businesses of all sizes by protecting them from the risk of non-payment and late payment, which is often a key reason why companies fail.”

TL Dallas works with clients that are based as far north as Shetland, right down to Devon, and everywhere in between. The firm has been providing trade credit insurance to businesses across the UK for more than 50 years, and prides itself on its independence and hands on customer service.
