Partners& inks new deal to expand in the south east

Chartered insurance broker Partners& has acquired Hall Insurance Services as it looks to bolster its presence in the south east, a statement released yesterday (3 October 2023) said.

London-based Hall Insurance Services is an independent broker that provides commercial and personal insurance services and solutions to corporations and private individuals.

Its specialisms include property, construction, liabilities, professional indemnity, household and motor.

Isha Patel, managing partner for the south east at Partners&, said purchasing the firm was “in line with our culture at Partners& and marks another important milestone in our growth plans”.

“The Hall Insurance team bring a wealth of experience and a specialism in the property sector, which significantly strengthens our expertise in this area within the south east region,” she added.

“The team pride themselves on strong client relationships with a phenomenal retention rate, which is testament to the great service and high-quality advice they have offered over the years.”

’Exciting prospect’

This came after Partners& told Insurance Times that it was looking to grow its business through selective recruitment and acquisition activity where there was a “strong alignment” of culture and values.

As part of this, the firm acquired NexGen Insurance Solutions last month (21 August 2023).

Its latest acquisition of Hall Insurance Services came after managing director Mark Hall became  impressed by Partners&’ vision for the group.

“We are very excited at the prospect of joining forces with the Partners& team,” Hall added.

”Hall Insurance’s alliance with Partners& will not only provide increased opportunities in the market, but also an additional level of service that will only benefit all our clients.”
