Worthing-based Argyll Insurance Group has acquired Pharon Insurance Brokers.

Pharon will continue to operate from its Kent office, its base for nearly 40 years, with an unchanged team working under Ron Woodwood.

Argyll chairman Kevin Young said: "As part of our programme of continued growth and improvement in the quality, depth and breadth of service we provide our clients, we are very pleased with this acquisition.

"Argyll and Pharon share similar attitudes and cultures and there is therefore good synergy between the two companies."
