Tankcontainer Magazine Q1 2021

Protecting the industry
Cover Interview

TCM: What is the history of Pound Gates?
DS: In 1988 Allan Pound was an insurance broker at Lloyd’s of London and Ivan Gates was a freight forwarding agent in Felixstowe, UK. Based on a long-standing business friendship they decided to start a new business together, Pound Gates Group, based in Ipswich in the UK. The Group included Pound Gates & Co Ltd, an insurance broker specialising in marine and transit risks. Kevin Collins took over Pound Gates in 2002 and has led the business through a period of significant growth based on a strong focus on its specialisms.
Today, Pound Gates is recognised internationally as insurance experts for the tank container industry, providing certainty in what is a highly specialist area of insurance and risk management.
