Bluefin announces third 2010 acquisition

Bluefin has acquired the commercial broker Ross Lloyd.

The Carlisle-based broker has a GWP of around £5m and will continue to operate from their current offices.

Ross Lloyd managing director Cliff McKnespiey said: "‘We considered a number of options to secure the best future for our clients and employees and Bluefin came up with by far the best proposition. It’s a strong national brand which prides itself on good local service and I’m sure we will fit nicely into the organisation."

Bluefin chief executive Stuart Reid said: "Ross Lloyd has built up a solid business and an excellent reputation over the past 30 years and we are delighted to welcome them to the Bluefin group."
