Seventeen Group chief executive Paul Turner and managing director Paul Anscombe plan to double the size of the business, in turnover and brokerage, within a five-year period.

The duo, speaking in an Insurance Times interview, believe the target can be achieved organically.

When asked about acquisitions, Turner said: “We’re certainly continuing to look for complementary acquisitions, but our business model is not based around the need to feed the business through acquisition. And equally we are very interested in bringing in complementary people.”
