Mike Winters, Managing Director of Abbey Murphy Insurance, said: “The world of insurance is constantly evolving and, to this end, we had to decide on our next move forward so that we could continue to provide our clients with the highest quality service possible. Various opportunities presented themselves, but none were quite right until we met with Robert Kennedy from Aston Lark. Our shared values of care for our clients and our employees made Aston Lark the perfect fit for us.

“We now look forward to our clients and staff enjoying the benefits of being part of a much larger company, and I wish to assure them of our continued commitment to them for the foreseeable future.”
