Aston Lark has announced the acquisition of Bainbridge Collins Ltd.
Led by Cyril Gallagher and established over 30 years ago in Birmingham, Bainbridge Collins is considered one of the Midlands’ leading independent insurance brokers and specialises in the ‘mid corporate’ sector. In addition to offering a first-class insurance broking service, the team prides itself on its ability to offer a comprehensive risk management service, offering quality advice and guidance on Health & Safety and Loss Prevention measures.
Peter Blanc, Aston Lark Group CEO, said: “We are delighted to welcome Cyril and his team into Aston Lark. This acquisition is another great addition to our West Midlands operations and further enhances our mid-corporate capability in the region. There is an excellent cultural fit, and we are confident the business can continue to prosper and grow, benefitting from our group scale and breadth of resources and expertise.”
Cyril Gallagher, MD and Founder added: “The company has built up an enviable reputation over the years as a broker providing exemplary service, whilst still maintaining that all important personal touch. This in turn has led to us achieving very strong client retention levels, with what is a loyal and long-standing customer base.
“However, as a company you must always have one eye to the future and this acquisition brings a wealth of opportunities not only for our clients, but for my wonderful long-standing staff too. We now look forward to further enhancing our overall value proposition through being part of the wider Aston Lark Group.”
