Ardonagh Advisory completes acquisition of Westfield Insurance

Further to its announcement in December that it had exchanged contracts, Ardonagh Advisory has completed its acquisition of Westfield Brokers Ltd.

Westfield Brokers, which trades under the name of Westfield Insurance, is an independent commercial broker based in Horsham, West Sussex, offering a diverse range of general insurance products, including, fleet, liability and contractors.

The business was established in 2009 by Managing Director Peter Cowan, who used his longstanding insurance industry experience to build a business focused on client service and excellence.   

Peter will continue to lead the business, which will join the Ardonagh Advisory platform, complementing Ardonagh’s existing presence in the West Sussex region.

Richard Tuplin, CEO Advisory Insurance Broking Ltd, said:

“Westfield Insurance is a dynamic and customer focused company, which is driven by an ethos of honesty and integrity.  

“As culturally aligned businesses, we know that Westfield Insurance will benefit from the many resources and opportunities available within Ardonagh Advisory, helping them to deliver even more for customers.

“It’s great to be able to welcome Peter and the team to Advisory and I look forward to achieving great things together.”

Peter Cowan, Managing Director of Westfield Insurance, said:

“When looking for a new home for Westfield Insurance, it was hugely important that we found a business that would support us to serve our clients in the best way possible.

“Ardonagh Advisory has so much to offer by way of operational support, which means we will be able to honour our client centric approach.

“I’m very pleased to be starting the next exciting chapter in the development of our business with Ardonagh Advisory.”
