Broker expands in South East region.

Lycetts has extended its reach in London and the South East following the acquisition of Carroll Foley Lloyd (CFL) for an undisclosed sum.

Established in 1992, CFL specialises in high and mid net worth household insurance in London and the South East.

Angus Keate, chief executive of Lycetts, said the acquisition would help the countrywide broker “balance out” what is predominantly a rural book of business.

The broker is “always on the look-out for niche businesses”, he added.

He said: “I am extremely pleased to welcome Jonathan Lloyd and his team into the Lycetts Group. This acquisition strengthens our presence in London and the South East, an area which represents the most intense concentration of high net worth property in the country.”

The company will trade as Lycetts, with all employees relocating to Lycetts’ City of London office and joining the existing private client team.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

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.
