Layton Blackham posted a record profit of £2.5m for 2005. This represents a 32% increase on the previous year for the broker.
Turnover increased by 18% to £23.6m, helped substantially by the acquisition of Anchor (UK).
The group's underwriting agency, Elite, saw its premium income grow by 15%.
Chris Blackham, the company's chairman and chief executive, said: "These are excellent results and especially pleasing when you consider 2005 not only saw a continuation of the soft market, but also the first year of regulation with all the additional work and cost this has entailed."
Last week, the broker acquired Worcester-based Cox Hepburn Insurance Services. This boosted its gross written premium to £120m.
The move marked the "next phase" in the broker's long-term strategy, according to Blackham.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
