Ipswich-based Ryan Insurance has continued its expansion with the acquisition of Colchester-based Elcoates Insurance Services.
Elcoates' principal Rob Gage has joined Ryan at its new offices in Colchester and takes with him around 1,000 motor and household clients, and a number of commercial clients.
There are further plans for expansion both in Essex and Norfolk, with long-term plans to expand into west Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
Ryan opened an office in Norwich in May last year , following the acquistion of Toothill & Trevethick.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
