Leicester insurance broker opens first regional office as acquisition completes

Leicester-based Erskine Murray Insurance Brokers has bought Ellesmere Port-based Offley Insurance Services.

The deal sees Erskine Murray establish its first regional office.

Commercial director Alan Wheeler said: “I am delighted we have completed our transition in the North West to Erskine Murray, which has seen us establishing our first fully functioning, branded regional office. We have taken a great business in Offley Insurance and added our own teams to develop an exciting new proposition for all our clients.”

Lynette Houghton, who heads up the North West region for Erskine Murray, said: “Offley shared our vision of offering clients a quality level of customer service and this consolidation lays the foundations for greater opportunities and additional benefits for clients in the future. Offley’s customers can now benefit from access to a much larger insurance network and more buying power, enabling us to provide specialist and innovative solutions while remaining extremely competitive.”
