Welsh intermediary Moorhouse has acquired Shakespeare Underwriting from Andrew Booth, sole owner of the Bentley Group, for an undisclosed sum.

Shakespeare, which lost around £40,000 from its dealings with Arab German Insurance, was placed into administration last month.

A spokesman for Tenon recovery, the administrators of Shakespeare, said: “We are delighted to have found a buyer in the trade so quickly. There is a strong match between the two companies.”

Shakespeare has agency agreements with a number of underwriters to distribute motor cycle, private car, household, commercial vehicle and let property cover.
