Broker chief executive outlines latest deals and growth plans in exclusive interview

Howard Lickens

Clear Insurance Management has bought two London brokers; McHale Heaney and NMTF Marketline Insurance Services.

McHale Heaney is a commercial broker, and NMTF Marketline is an associated scheme broker that provides insurance to National Market Traders Federation members.

In an exclusive interview with Insurance Times, Clear chief executive Howard Lickens said the acquisitions were attractive because of their specialisms in niche areas and location.

“We’re trying to grow, so we’re looking for new recruits and new acquisitions, and if you’re in the middle of London that opens your catchment up to millions, whereas where we are at the moment is a little bit more restricted,” he explained.
