Insurance industry consultancy Pro Global says it aims to increase headcount after announcing the relocation of its Liverpool office. Tony McDonough reports
Insurance industry consultancy Pro Global has announced what it calls a “significant” expansion of its Liverpool operation with a relocation to the waterfront.
Pro Global, which supports major insurers with complex operational, audit, claims and digital transformation requirements, is moving its team from Exchange Flags to the Royal Liver Building.
This latest expansion is believed to be related to the recent launch of its specialist law firm arm, Pro Legal Solutions, which focuses on managing complex insurance litigation. It is expected to move into the 5,000 sq ft space at the Royal Liver by early 2027.
Steve Lewis, chief executive of Pro Global, said: “Liverpool has become an increasingly important part of our UK operation, providing access to high-quality talent and a strong professional services market.
“Securing space in the Royal Liver Building reflects both our confidence in the city and our long-term growth plans. This move gives us the capacity to continue expanding our teams and delivering the specialist support our clients need.”
In July food giant Princes, a long-time tenant, agreed a deal with Corestate Capital to acquire the iconic Grade I-listed building for £60m. Corestate, which bought the building for £48m in 2017, had originally put it up for sale in 2022 with a £90m price tag.

Andrew Byrne, director of CBRE, who represented Princes Group in the Pro Global letting, added: “We are pleased to welcome a leading insurance advisory firm to the iconic Royal Liver Building.
“Pro Global complements a strong and growing occupier base in the building that includes Grant Thornton, Intellica, Evelyn Partners, Barnett Waddingham and Mott MacDonald. We look forward to welcoming the team early next year.”
