The business

London-based GrovesJohnWestrup Private Clients launched in 2020 and served as the high net worth (HNW) arm and trading name of Munich Re Specialty.

Its proposition included buildings, contents, valuables, antiques, home emergency, home cyber and travel cover.

It was announced that the firm was being out into run-off in July 2024 after Munich Re Specialty carried out a review of its businesses.

A Munich Re Specialty spokesperson said: “Munich Re Specialty continues to focus on its core portfolio of products and solutions concentrating on primary specialty risks.”
