Leicester’s a battle for Hastings’ Gary
Hastings Insurance boss Gary Hoffman can’t resist a playful dig at the city of Leicester, where his company is about to open a new base.
The one-time vice-chairman of fierce Leicester City rival Coventry City Football Club told Spy: “I made that decision with gritted teeth. We got a very good rate.”
The former Northern Rock boss might have the cash to improve the fortunes of Coventry — currently languishing in football’s third tier — when Hastings fires the starting gun on a likely £1 billion London listing over the next few months.
