Three new broking businesses have joined Partners&, as part of a move to build sector specific expertise and expand its presence in the North of England: Midlands Insurance Services, Elliott Westland Insurance Brokers and JB Brokers. Together they bring £20,335KGWP and 57 new colleagues into Partners&.
Elliott Westland, based in Houghton le Spring, is Partners&’s first move into the North East of England. Established by Kevin Elliot and Ian Westland in 2000, the team of 18 will continue to build on their track record of quality general insurance advice and high service standards.
JB Brokers, founded by Mark Brown and Matthew Kerr, with offices in Liverpool, Southport and Wrexham and a team of 36, bring specialist experience in the taxi, fleet and commercial insurance space to complement SEP Insurance, who recently joined Partners& in June 2024.
Midlands Insurance Services, based in Mansfield, has been run by Chris Needham since 1994. The team of three will move into the Partners& Nottingham office and integrate seamlessly into the team.
Phil Barton said: “We are committed to expanding our presence in the North and strengthening our national footprint. We are therefore delighted to bring these three fantastic businesses into the Group. Each business shares our aim to be best in class by gaining a deep understanding of their clients, providing high quality advice, and delivering excellent client service. I’m confident they will make a great contribution to the business and am thrilled they have chosen Partners& as their new home.”
