’This acquisition is another important step in our growth strategy,’ says chief executive

Verlingue has acquired Corpad Employee Benefits as the broker continues to expand its employee benefits business in the UK.

The deal marks the latest step in Verlingue’s growth strategy for its employee benefits division, following the acquisition of EBCam in December 2025 and the integration of Brunsdon Employee Benefits in 2023.

Corpad has developed a national employee benefits consultancy business, working with employers across the UK to design and manage programmes tailored to the needs of individual organisations and their workforces.

Stuart Stroud, chief executive at Corpad Employee Benefits, said: “We are proud of the business we have built and the trusted relationships we have developed with our clients over many years.

”Joining Verlingue is an exciting next step for our business. We were attracted by the strength of its culture, its long-term vision and its commitment to client service. We look forward to building on the relationships we have established while benefiting from the additional scale and expertise that Verlingue provides.”

‘Important step’

Verlingue said the acquisition enhances its employee benefits capabilities and brings additional specialist expertise into the business, further strengthening its support for employers navigating an increasingly complex workforce and benefits landscape.

The broker added that both businesses share a focus on long-term client relationships, personalised advice and delivering measurable value through employee benefits programmes.

Mike Latham, chief executive at Verlingue, said: “We are delighted to welcome Corpad Employee Benefits to Verlingue. They have built a highly respected business with a strong reputation for trusted advice and lasting client relationships.

”This acquisition is another important step in our growth strategy and further strengthens our employee benefits proposition. Most importantly, it brings talented people into the business who share our commitment to delivering exceptional service and positive outcomes for clients.”
