Denis O Brown & Associates acquires independent broker specialising in the agricultural sector

Scottish broker Denis O Brown & Associates has acquired Carron Insurance Brokers. The acquisition is part of Denis O Brown’s strategy for growth as the largest independent agricultural specialist in Scotland.

Carron staff will continue to work from the same office and service their client base, bringing the total number of staff employed by Denis O Brown to 32.  

Denis O Brown chief operating officer Nikki McCrossan commented: “Our business has enjoyed significant growth over the years and the acquisition of Carron Insurance Brokers marks a pivotal point in our strategy to expand the Company and to hold our position as the largest independent Agricultural specialist insurance broker in Scotland. 

Together, we will continue to offer a reliable alternative to clients operating within the agricultural sector and deliver a truly independent approach in partnership with a wide range of insurers as opposed to one single provider.”
