A word of our Group Acquisitions Manager, Keith Frost
Making a decision to sell, whether in whole or in part, can be a difficult process. Lots of brokers that we speak to have spent many years building up their business and wish to see their legacy, brand, staff and premises intact post-sale. Some owners wish to stay on post-sale to ensure a smooth transition for their business and key clients who they have looked after over the years. If you wish to remain a part of this journey we will be pleased to work with you.
At The County Group, we have community broking at the heart of our strategy. We have acquired a number of insurance brokers in our 16 years history and seeking further acquisitions into the group to complement our organic growth of circa 30% per annum.
