Bennett Christmas has announced its purchase of Canterbury-based independent broker, Sennet Insurance Services. This is the third acquisition for the business this year and it marks the first anniversary of Bennett Christmas joining as an Ethos Broking Partner in August 2019.
Sennet Insurance Services is a specialist Professional Indemnity broker that was established in 1995. Robert Ward and David Kenyon-Vaughan have owned and run the business since 2003 and 2004 respectively and have built it up to its current size, handling over £1.3m GWP.
Both Robert and David have taken the opportunity to explore other avenues following completion.
Commenting on the purchase, Tom Stripp, Bennett Christmas’ MD said: “I’m humbled that Robert and David have trusted us with the legacy of their business, and pleased that our team will continue the excellent client care that the Sennet brand is renowned for in the Canterbury area and beyond. Sennet’s fantastic spread of business perfectly complements our current position and offers us fantastic growth opportunities.
“As part of the Ethos Broking family we are able to work together with brokers who share our culture and our vision for the future, and I’m excited by the plans we have in the pipeline for the next 12 months.”
