Higos Insurance Services has bought Bridport-based RM Gillingham & Son.

All staff will be kept. The office will trade as Gillinghams Insurance Services from 1 December 2011.

The acquisition is Higos’s third this year. Higos bought Vaughan Insurance Brokers in July and Plymstock Insurance Centre in April.

Higos managing director Ian Gosden said: “Alongside our acquisition plans, Higos continues to bring new and innovative ideas and products to the market.”

RM Gillingham managing director Richard Gillingham said: “I have great respect for the enthusiasm and innovation of Ian Gosden, and his team, and look forward to an exciting decade ahead. I welcome the opportunity to maintain my involvement with the business and help ensure a seamless transition.”

RM Gillingham was founded in 1908 by Richard Moses Gillingham and has been owned by the family ever since.
