Insurance firm makes 50th acquisition

Insurance firm Aston Lark has completed a deal to buy a broker, which has regional offices across the country.

UKGlobal Broking Group has been snapped up by the company in a move which marks its 50th acquisition since forming in 2018.

The acquisition comes hot on the heels of Aston Lark officially becoming part of the Howden Broking Group.

UKGlobal, which is headquartered in Manchester and has 10 regional offices, arranges insurance for a range of commercial sectors, including via a number of specialist schemes and association partnerships, and also private clients.

Following the deal, the management and team members will all remain with the business, and the UKGlobal brand will also remain for the foreseeable future.

Peter Blanc, Aston Lark’s group chief executive, said: “I’m delighted that UKGlobal has chosen to partner with Aston Lark and I’m so excited about what we will achieve together over the coming years.”
