Thompson and Partners specialises in credit and marine insurance
Seventeen Group has acquired credit and marine broker Thompson and Partners.
As a result of the acquisition chief executive Richard Thompson will join the broking subsidiary of Seventeen Group, James Hallam, as head of its newly formed credit and marine division.
Thompson said: “Thompson and Partners have been an independent broker for many years and have built a very loyal following of clients. We recognised, however, that joining a larger firm which mirrors our service and stability values would provide us with a fantastic opportunity for growth.
“Credit insurance is not regarded as a core product area for many regional brokers and it can really help a client’s business, as well as creating wider commercial opportunities for the broker.”
Seventeen managing director Paul Anscombe said: “As a group we are constantly looking for specialist opportunities as we believe this not only benefits our clients but also makes us stronger as a business.
“Competition is only likely to intensify in the coming years and specialism coupled with a strong and clear service proposition will be crucial for survival.”
“At present, there are a growing number of acquisitive brokers but, in our experience, vendors are increasingly considering the long term legacy of a sale in terms of how it impacts their staff and clients in addition to the purchase price.”
It's the perfect way to acknowledge hard work, inspire your team, and network with industry leaders.
Crucially, as many of our attendees have done before, you can use your table booking as the perfect, hassle-free Team Christmas Party, combining prestige, celebration, and a memorable night they'll talk about all year!
