Third deal in a week for Aston Lark

Venture Insurance, a traditional personal and commercial broker, has joined the Aston Lark stable for an undisclosed sum.

It is the third deal this week for Goldman Sachs-backed Aston Lark which added MGA Magenta and Scottish broker Bruce Stevenson to its long list of acquisitions.

Aston Lark detailed that Venture advises on business risks across every sector and provides assistance with surveys, claims analysis and health & safety.

Expertise
It also has specialist expertise in Professional Indemnity insurance, property management, haulage, small business solutions and also risk management, offering practical and straightforward advice on business continuity planning, risk management programmes and more.

Peter Blanc, Aston Lark group CEO, said: “From our initial meeting with the Venture team we have been continually impressed with their ‘client first’ approach which sits perfectly with the ethos of Aston Lark.

“We’re excited about further expanding our presence in the South West, following our earlier acquisition of Brunel Professions, and the growth opportunities we now have in Bristol and the surrounding areas. We are particularly pleased that the senior leadership team at Venture have chosen to invest part of their proceeds into Aston Lark as a commitment to long term Group ambitions.”

Clients
Simon James, Venture Insurance managing director, added: “It is with great delight that we are able to announce that we are joining forces with Aston Lark. Peter Blanc and Stuart Rootham are traditional brokers, and this provides us with continuity and gives us the confidence that clients and staff will continue to be looked after in the same way for years to come.”
