Essex Insurance Brokers bought by Aston Lark
Essex Insurance Brokers has become the latest addition to the Aston Lark Group, the Chartered insurance broker backed by Goldman Sachs.
Established in 1964 and based in Hornchurch, Essex Insurance Brokers serves both personal and business clients nationwide, with a particular specialism in the film and visual arts insurance sector, complementing the services of Aston Lark’s Performance Film & Media brand.
The deal follows Aston Lark’s buy of Plester Group which took place just last week.
Specialism
Peter Blanc, Aston Lark Group CEO, said: “I am delighted to welcome Beverley and Neil to Aston Lark. We are seeing significant growth in our film and media book and I am really proud of the specialist knowledge we have in our growing team. The addition of Essex is perfect and broadens our capability even further.”
Essex Insurance Brokers Director, Beverley Harle, added: “Aston Lark is the perfect partner with the ideal pedigree for our business and we are confident that this next chapter in the life of our company will be an excellent opportunity for the most important people in our business – our clients and staff.”
Fellow Director Neil Harle commented: “For many years we have competed with Aston Lark’s Performance Film & Media brand for film insurance business. Now we join forces, which is good news for us and even better news for our clients.”
This year has seen Aston Lark Group make a series of deals including its move into Scotland with its purchase of Bruce Stevenson and a series of deals in the Irish market.
