Two senior employees become owners as Teddington broker changes hands after acquisition

Two senior brokers at Coversure Teddington have acquired the firm’s book of business from retiring franchisee Philip Macdonald.

Mel Franke and Ciara Curran – who have worked at the firm for nine and seven years respectively – will take on the ownership of the branch, which remains part of the Coversure Network.

Established in 1978, Coversure Teddington is a local broker that specialises in cover for businesses, tradespeople, shop owners and landlords.

The firm said that Franke and Curran had been “integral” to its recent strong results and that the pair had “built trusted relationships with clients and contributed to the branch’s ongoing performance”..

Strong relationships

New owner Franke said: “Curran and I are incredibly proud to be taking on the Coversure Teddington book. Having worked within the operation for several years, we’ve built strong relationships with our customers and understand what makes this book so special.

“Stepping into ownership is a natural next step for us and we’re grateful for the backing and guidance the Coversure network provides.”

Jordan Maskel, network director at Coversure, added: “Supporting internal transitions such as Franke and Curran’s helps protect the continuity of service for Coversure customers while keeping knowledge, experience and relationships exactly where they belong.

“We look forward to seeing Franke and Curran continue to develop the Teddington book under their leadership, with the full support of the network behind them”.
