Weatherbys Hamilton to provide bloodstock and private client cover

Horse insurance

Horse insurer Weatherbys and insurance entrepreneur Charles Hamilton have launched broker Weatherbys Hamilton.

The broker will provide bloodstock and private client insurance with Hamilton as chief executive.

The firm will have offices in Wellingborough and Newmarket.

Weatherbys Bank chief executive and Weatherbys Hamilton chairman Roger Weatherby said: “We have been looking at ways to expand our insurance business for some time, and the opportunity to form a joint venture with Charles Hamilton is a natural fit. Charles has outstanding experience of the insurance markets and of managing a high net worth broker.”

Weatherbys Hamilton chief executive Charles Hamilton said: “This is a huge opportunity for us to grow a significant private client brand, particularly as Weatherbys has such a tremendous reputation and reach. The high net worth model has become stale, and this is an opportunity to innovate and create something different.”
