Post Office Travel Insurance is to create 75 jobs as it sets up a new business.
The company is setting up Post Office Management Services Ltd for its travel insurance services, to enable it to expand its product range.
It said that the new jobs will ensure that high levels of customer service are maintained whilst handling the anticipated growth in demand.
The jobs will be based at 6 Atlantic Quay in Glasgow and the company expects to create more posts later in the year.
Nick Kennett, CEO of Post Office Management Services said: "This is a big step for Post Office Travel Insurance as we create a new business, Post Office Management Services, to provide our new travel insurance products.
"We have chosen Glasgow as the centre for our plans to allow us to have the ability to grow our business and continue to maintain the high levels of service that our customers expect and demand from us."
Minister for Business Fergus Ewing welcomed the announcement.
He said: "The insurance and financial services sector has long been recognised as one of Scotland's strengths given the skills and experience of our workforce.
"I'm very pleased Post Office is investing in Glasgow and Scotland by creating these 75 new and welcome jobs."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
