Avalon expands in Spain with new office in Turre, Almeria
Avalon, one of Europe’s leading providers of pre-paid funeral plans, has opened their third Spanish office. Located in Turre, Almeria, the new office will meet growing demand for funeral plans across the region.
In the last six months, Avalon has seen a 500 per cent increase in enquiries in Almeria. The new office will enable residents to visit Avalon in person to discuss their funeral plans.
The Turre office, which is equidistant from Avalon’s offices in Costa del Sol and Algorfa, increases the company’s reach in Spain while enabling it to provide a localised service to consumers.
Jason Gardner, head of Europe at Avalon, said: “Avalon is constantly evolving and expanding, so it was an obvious decision to develop our presence in Almeria. Given the considerable increase in enquires and a high British expatriate population in the area, our new office will help more people access our funeral plans.”
Turre is one of five towns in Almeria where over 50 per cent of the registered population is British. With excellent road links in the area, Avalon’s new office is easily accessible from Mojacar, Albox, Olula del Rio and the city of Almeria.
Between July 2013 and July 2014, Avalon won its first customers in Portugal, Malta and the Spanish regions of Seville, Jaen and Cordoba. In December 2014, its overall sales were 76 per cent up year on year.
Avalon offers great employment opportunities to UK expatriates. Staff numbers in Europe, at 58, now match those in the UK.
Avalon protects customers from rising funeral costs and the worry of arranging a funeral when the time comes, which can be complex outside the UK. Avalon’s three comprehensive packages, Balmoral, Windsor Way and Britannia, are available in Spain, Portugal and Tenerife. Alternative plans are available for customers residing in Cyprus, Malta and Turkey.
