Towergate completes acquisition of Broker Network

Towergate, the UK’s largest independently owned insurance intermediary, today announces that it has 90% acceptance of the offer made and consequently has completed the acquisition of Broker Network Holdings. Towergate now plans to de-list Broker Network Holdings from AIM and acquire the remaining minority shareholding.

Executive Chairman of Towergate, Peter Cullum said, "I am delighted that Broker Network has today joined the Towergate family.

This deal is attractive for all concerned and will see Broker Network working with an intermediary focused company, which will help them to continue investment in growth and infrastructure to enhance the quality of their underwriting, distribution and business support services. I’m also delighted to confirm Grant Ellis as the Chairman of the new Network Division of Towergate which demonstrates our commitment to offering the leading UK network proposition.

As our third largest acquisition to date, this is a significant deal for us and significantly reaffirms our ambition to build a network proposition that will give enhanced benefits to both brokers and their clients."
