When Herefordshire investors purchased The Green Dragon Hotel in 2018, the goal was to “create a platform for Herefordshire’s thriving independent food and drink producers” and give the hotel a new lease of life. This consideration of the Herefordshire community and working with other local businesses is what lies at the heart of The Green Dragon, one of Britain’s oldest hotels.
To kick-start the project, Julian Vaughan, Managing Director, and those involved met with local insurance brokers, Thomas Carroll to discuss their plans for the hotel. With the two businesses operating on Broad Street in the city centre, regular meetings were held to get to know one another’s respective businesses and values.
Following that first meeting, it was agreed that Thomas Carroll’s Chartered, professional and competitive insurance solutions met The Green Dragon Hotel’s needs. With cost of business becoming an increasingly discussed topic in the region, having stability, trust and support from another local Herefordshire partner meant that The Green Dragon could focus on achieving their goals.
Douglas Spencer, Regional Director of Thomas Carroll in Hereford, commented: “With such a large presence and history in Hereford, Thomas Carroll are proud to be involved with the continued growth of this increasingly popular and successful tourist location.”
