Miller has acquired Henner Sports from the Henner Group. The specialist reinsurance broker said it expects the acquisition to be highly complementary to its current sports insurance offering.
Henner Sports is a Paris-based reinsurance broker specialising in the sports sector, with a multilingual team of 14 employees. Its clients include high-profile professional athletes and sports organisations, such as the French national basketball team and many French international football players. Henner Sports also acts for clients in other sports such as cycling and rugby. It offers insurance products at the individual, club and federation levels.
Alongside offering insurance and reinsurance broking services, Henner Sports also operates as a delegated underwriting agent for several of its partner carriers.
“We have clear aspirations to expand Miller’s footprint in Europe through targeted expansion and are pleased to announce the acquisition of Henner Sports as part of this strategy,” said Greg Collins, CEO of Miller. “In Henner Sports, we recognised a strong fit for Miller’s approach and culture, with its rapid growth underpinned by exceptional service from a practitioner-led team, a number of whom are former professional footballers. We look forward to welcoming the Henner Sports team to Miller and supporting their growth ambitions.”
“We are delighted to join Miller, their commitment to a client led approach and the strength of their existing sports team makes them a natural fit for us,” said Didier Loiseau, directeur general of Henner Sports. “We have significant ambitions for our next phase of growth, including establishing a greater international presence and a broader product offering. In Miller, we are pleased to have found a partner that can help us achieve these ambitions while sharing our belief in the importance of specialism and service excellence.”
