SRG completes Hamilton Leigh buy
Specialist Risk Group has completed the acquisition of motor-trade specialist Hamilton Leigh for an undisclosed sum.
The deal was first announced in March when it was confirmed the broker will still be led by Lee Cohen and Jill Hamilton.
Founded by Cohen and Hamilton in 1987, Hertfordshire-based Hamilton Leigh also specialises in technology, manufacturing and other commercial areas.
The broker’s team will now sit in SRG’s retail division, Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions.
SRG flagged that Hamilton Leigh will continue to invest in its motor trade and technology capability, whilst expanding its footprint in other specialist sectors.
Lee Anderson, SRG deputy group CEO, commented: “Hamilton Leigh is a fantastic team who will add significant value to SRIS. We really enjoyed getting to know each other throughout the deal process, and I am looking forward to working closely with Lee, Jill, and their team, as we help them to fulfil the next stage of their growth plans.”

Cohen added: “Both businesses share the same values and passion for their people, which was a major consideration when deciding SRG as the best home for Hamilton Leigh.
“The success of Hamilton Leigh has achieved to date has been a real team effort, and we look forward to that continuing to grow the business with our new colleagues at SRG.”
