’I still had a burning desire inside to setup and run another insurance brokerage,’ says founder
Insurance Connections – a new commercial insurance broker – has been launched in the UK.
The firm was founded by insurance broking expert Nathan Walton and has been backed by The Broker Investment Group (TBIG).
It will target clients ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large corporates.
“Insurance Connections specialise in the full spectrum of commercial insurance products and have a wealth of experience across all industry sectors,” its new website said.
“We source business insurance policies from our large panel of UK-based underwriters and our clients range from sole traders, SME’s through to multi-site corporates.”

Walton decided to found the broker after launching JSW Insurance in 2003, a commercial insurance broker that was sold to The County Group 10 years later.
