EMPLOYEES at a Bromsgrove insurance company are becoming increasingly concerned their branch is becoming a breeding ground for expectant mums.

Five new babies are on the way and all of them are linked to Hill House Hammond (HHH), in High Street.

Expectant mother number one is sales advisor Leanne Owen, aged 25. Leanne has worked at HHH for nearly three years and is expecting her first tot.

Mum-to-be number two is Jayne Woodall. The 32-year-old is expecting her third child.

Finally, HHH customer Jackie Clee is expecting triplets.

The five babies are all due in July.

Branch manager Sharon Betteridge said: "Jackie came in to change her motor insurance as she has just purchased a people carrier to accommodate the triplets.

"I couldn't believe another person associated with the branch was pregnant and due to give birth at the same time as Jayne and Leanne.

"I'm beginning to think that anyone who steps foot in our office will end up pregnant."

Sharon decided to give Jackie a year's free motor insurance, partly to help out but also to ease the guilt that HHH premises might be responsible for the new arrivals.
