Jelf Group buys Yorkshire broker

clock

Jelf has acquired Yorkshire based insurance brokers, Beaumonts Insurance Group Ltd, in a bid to increase its presence in the North of England.

Beaumonts have offices in Leeds, Bradford, Shrewsbury and Doncaster, which will join existing Jelf Group offices in Hull, York, central Leeds and Manchester. 

This Northern Powerhouse will be responsible for nearly 45% of all the Jelf Group's insurance business. Beaumonts is the second major Yorkshire acquisition, the first being the Hull based The Insurance Partnership in June 2013.

All Beaumonts directors will stay with the business and the business will continue to trade from their existing offices. The message to staff and clients is very much "business as usual", although clients will now have the benefit of access to a wider range of services and products, including employee benefits and financial planning.

Jelf's Chief Executive, Alex Alway, said: "This acquisition brings together two high quality Chartered insurance brokers who have the same goals - to deliver excellent client service and technical advice. We look forward to the working together and to the many opportunities this partnership will provide for both clients and employees."
