PIB Group Ltd is uniting several of its businesses to trade as PIB Insurance Brokers (‘PIB IB’).

Twelve businesses will therefore change their brand, and all sit within the Specialty division, which is home to the Group’s specialist commercial lines, supported by in-house claims handling and a risk management team.

PIB Insurance Brokers formed in 2015 as the original company of PIB Group, and specialises in areas extending across professions, property, construction, transportation and trade credit. As PIB Group has rapidly grown through acquisitions, the multitude of brands working alongside PIB IB has become increasingly complex. 

Brendan McManus, CEO for PIB Group, commented: “Simplifying the structure of our specialist businesses is an important step that will further strengthen the PIB Insurance Brokers brand and reinforce how we place collaboration at the heart of everything we do. All our businesses within the Specialty division have made an important contribution to our success today, and bringing them together to trade as one is a natural phase in our evolution so that clients can enjoy easier access to our extensive offering and expertise.”

The programme is on track to complete in the last quarter of 2020, and specialisms within the PIB Insurance Business offering will grow to include real estate, leisure, construction, haulage and charities for example. The move will also complement the existing PIB Risk Management and PIB Employee Benefits businesses to present a further unified approach, and strength as a collective.

Around 500 people across thirty branches nationally form the Specialty division. Its existing teams and contact details will stay the same, with experts remaining dedicated to providing a highly professional and friendly service, while retaining a strong local presence for clients. 

Steve Redgwell, CEO for PIB’s Specialty Division, commented: “It’s exciting to see our Specialty division continue to evolve and grow in brand strength. We are proud of the heritage and achievements that have made our businesses successful today, and whose values are shared and aligned to PIB Insurance Brokers which will be our dominant brand. We will continue to put our clients at the forefront of our thinking in everything we do, maintaining local professional service, while celebrating and building on our specialisms as well as developing and growing our people.”

Companies within scope to trade as PIB Insurance Brokers include Cooke & Mason, DE Ford, Franklands, Lorica, PIB Private Clients, PIB SME Insurance, QPI, Wilby (including Websters Insurance Brokers), WW Group, BKG West and Cobra Insurance Brokers.
