Hinks Insurance Celebrates Historic Move and Announces New Leadership.

Hinks Insurance is excited to announce a significant milestone in our history as we bid farewell to our Hull city centre office after 53 years – and embark on a new chapter by relocating our headquarters to Waterside Business Park in Hessle.

A family-run business which first started in 1930, Hinks has been based in Wright Street since 1970 when John Hinks Snr - the son of founder George Hinks – joined the company after serving his apprenticeship with a national insurance company.

The move to the modern and spacious Waterside Business Park, on Livingstone Road, represents more than just a change of address – it is a symbol of our ongoing growth and commitment to providing exceptional service to our clients.

To commemorate the historic occasion, John Hinks Snr had the honour of conducting the official opening ceremony. The event was attended by current chairman Jonathan Hinks and newly-appointed Managing Director Julie Thurlow.

Reflecting on the move, Jonathan Hinks said: “Moving marks a significant step forward for Hinks Insurance. It’s a reflection of our growth, success and dedication to continually improving our services.

“Our new headquarters will provide the perfect foundation for us to continue serving our clients with excellence for many years to come.”

The move follows an exciting management restructure which has seen Julie Thurlow promoted to Managing Director after 25 years of dedicated service and Jonathan Hinks has now transitioned into the role of Chairman.

“Julie has been an integral part of our team for over two decades, and her leadership and commitment have been truly inspiring,” said Jonathan.

“I am confident that under her guidance, Hinks Insurance will continue to flourish and achieve even greater heights. As I step into the role of Chairman, I look forward to supporting Julie and the entire team as we embark on this exciting new journey.”

Expressing her enthusiasm for the new role, Julie Thurlow said: “I am incredibly honoured to take on the role of Managing Director at such a pivotal time for the company. Our move to Waterside Business Park opens up new opportunities for us, and I am eager to lead our talented team as we continue to grow and innovate.”
