Brown and Brown Europe to bolster renewables expertise with broker buy

Brown and Brown Europe has acquired Nsure Limited as it looks to bolster its expertise in the renewables sector, a statement released today (14 November 2023) revealed.

Worthing-based Nsure is a chartered insurance broker that operates in a range of sectors, including manufacturing, distribution, contracting, property investment and motor trade.

It also has specialist knowledge of the renewable energy and technology sectors.

The acquisition will see the business become part of Brown and Brown’s south east retail broker Greens under the leadership of Duncan Coleman.

Coleman said the deal would bring his firm “significant expertise in the fast-growing renewables sector, as well as a highly competent and experienced team”.

“It’s great news that they have agreed to become part of Brown and Brown and I want to extend a warm welcome to the Nsure team,” he added.

“I look forward to supporting them as they embark on the next stage of their development.”

Opportunity

As part of the deal, Nsure’s managing director Phil Bristow and his broking team will continue to operate in their Worthing office under the existing brand.

Bristow said the ”opportunity to become part of Brown and Brown was too good to miss”.

”I’m confident that we will go from strength to strength during the next phase for the benefit of our people and our customers,” he added.

“The forever company ethos that Brown and Brown encourages was a key element in our decision and I am excited about our future as part of the bigger group.”
