Aston Lark Ireland continues its growth acceleration by today announcing the acquisition of McMahon Galvin Limited. 

Based in the heart of Dublin city centre, McMahon Galvin was founded in 1970 and has built a solid reputation for providing home and car insurance to individuals, along with offering a full range of insurance services to businesses.

The ethos and service standards set down by the founders over 50 years ago remain the cornerstone of the business today. Led by the management team of Peter Hanlon and John Galvin, the business strives to look after clients first and foremost, delivering a highly personalised level of service. McMahon Galvin has become a trusted advisor to many clients, whose loyalty spans several decades and in some cases since the very start of their journey.

Robert Kennedy, Aston Lark Ireland CEO, said: “From our initial meeting with the McMahon Galvin team, we were continually impressed with their client-centric approach which sits perfectly with the ethos of Aston Lark. With a loyal customer base and strong relationships with a broad range of insurers, it didn't take us long to recognise the strength and brand presence that they have built over many decades, making them an excellent addition.”

“This is another exciting step forward for Aston Lark Ireland as we look to deliver on our vision to become the leading independent and most trusted insurance broker in Ireland.”

Commenting on the acquisition, Peter Blanc, Aston Lark Group CEO, added: “We’re delighted to welcome the McMahon Galvin team to Aston Lark Ireland - to have successfully traded and looked after clients for 50 years just shows what a high-quality business this is. We’re proud to have them join us.”

Peter Hanlon, Director of McMahon Galvin Ltd, said: "We are delighted to be joining Aston Lark, which marks an exciting milestone in our 50-year history. Our fantastic team (both past and present), loyal customers and our panel of insurer partners have played an important part in the progress and success of the business. We now have an exciting future together as part of Aston Lark, who will support us in the coming years to further enhance our offering to clients and assist in developing our team."

John Galvin, Director of McMahon Galvin Ltd, added: "I would like to assure all our customers and staff of our continued dedication to providing the best service and look forward to sharing the broader business platform which this transition offers."

This is the fourth acquisition made by Aston Lark Ireland in 2021, following on from the three acquisitions already made this spring - North County Brokers, O’Loughlin Insurance Group and Brady Burns & Associates.
