Broker Network makes sixth regional addition with Surrey purchase

Broker Network has today completed the purchase of Weald Insurance Brokers, bringing its total number of “regional powerhouse” acquisitions to six.

Specialising in property-related and commercial risks, fleet, motor and motor trade insurances and policies for high net worth individuals, Weald employs over 40 people and has a GWP of over £14m.

Des O’Connor, Broker Network’s chief commercial officer said: “Adding Weald to the family is another fantastic move for Broker Network Partners. It is a well-respected brand within the region, with a diversified client base made up of long-standing client relationships.

“Chris Gibbs leads a high-profile team of loyal staff, whose technical approach to identifying risks strengthens their client relationships.

“A key element of our strategy is ensuring our Partners continue to run their business in the way they always have. They know and understand their clients and we are simply there to support and accelerate them to the next level. Weald Insurance Brokers is a perfect example of this. They have a strong brand and close client relationships but are looking to grow. I’m excited to see what’s in store for the business over the coming months.”

Weald managing director Gibbs added: “We’re thrilled to have partnered with Broker Network and are excited at the opportunities our new relationship will bring for the benefit of our clients. The partnership allows us to strengthen our broking footprint in the wider region and focus our strategy on continued growth.”
