Motor trade insurance broker Hamilton Leigh is now owned by Specialist Risk Group (SRG), after the intermediaries business completed its Hertfordshire swoop.
Under SRG ownership, Hamilton Leigh will join Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions (SRIS), which is the retail division of SRG. The plan is to expand into other specialist sectors while continuing to invest in Hamilton Leigh’s expertise in motor trade and technology.
“The team at Hamilton Leigh is so excited to now be part of Specialist Risk Group,” said Hamilton Leigh managing director Lee Cohen. “Both businesses share the same values and passion for their people, which was a major consideration when deciding SRG as the best home for Hamilton Leigh.
“The success Hamilton Leigh has achieved to date has been a real team effort, and we look forward to that continuing to grow the business with our new colleagues at SRG.”
Meanwhile SRG deputy group chief executive Lee Anderson described the acquired firm as a “fantastic team who will add significant value” to SRIS.
“We really enjoyed getting to know each other throughout the deal process, and I am looking forward to working closely with Lee, [director] Jill [Hamilton], and their team, as we help them to fulfil the next stage of their growth plans.”
Hamilton Leigh has been in business since 1987.
