The Bollington Group has acquired Manchester commercial insurance specialist Greystone Insurance Services.

Greystone controls over £6m in annual premiums and is particularly strong in the property owners' field.

The Greystone brand and office in Altrincham, Greater Manchester will remain and all staff and directors will stay in place.

Paul Moors, Director of Bollington said: “This is an excellent move for Bollington. The acquisition of such a quality business underlines our determination to grow in the North West.

Dominic Leach, managing director of Greystone, said: “This is excellent news for our customers. Bollington is a regular winner of insurance awards, proof of its professionalism, expertise and innovative skills."

Bollington has acquired Preston based Wallwork Jensen and Wigan based MG Smithies in the last 18 months.
