Rob Dockerill, the chief executive of AutoGuard Warranties, said: “It's a very exciting time at AutoGuard, we are expanding and growing despite the current challenges.

“Northern Ireland has always been important to us, so I am very pleased to be able to open this regional office to support our NI dealers and customers.

"We have always prided ourselves on excellent customer service and having a Belfast base allows us to service the local needs and requirements better.”

AutoGuard Warranties previously managed its Northern Ireland operations from it head office in Surrey.
