Marsh Acquisition Completed Of SME Insurance Services Ltd

Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk management, has completed its previously agreed acquisition of Leeds-based SME Insurance Services (SMEi), an independent insurance broker providing specialist commercial insurance for the business community across the UK.

SME Insurance Services Ltd, established in 2002, was ranked Yorkshire’s second-fastest growing small company and the 20th fastest growing company overall in a recent survey.

CEO of Marsh UK & Ireland, Mark Weil, said: “Our acquisition of SMEi considerably extends Marsh’s reach across the UK’s small and medium-sized enterprise sector. We have been working closely with its management team and have been impressed by their knowledge, insight and understanding of the SME segment. I am delighted to welcome SMEi colleagues to Marsh.”

With many years of experience in catering for all of today’s varied business needs, the addition of SMEi’s online and call centre platform enhances Marsh’s capability to serve small and medium-sized busnesses, and SMEi’s Broker2Broker platform also brings significant benefit to the members of Marsh’s broker networks; driving forward its small and medium-sized enterprise strategy.

Co-founder of SMEi Jason Gandy stated: “Becoming part of Marsh is great news for our clients and colleagues alike. We look forward to a rapid integration of the businesses and delivering a better way for SMEs to obtain risk and insurance advice that enables them to be more resilient and successful.”
