Brown & Brown : ‘Three in Three’ for Premier Choice Healthcare

PDF Version

Premier Choice Healthcare (PCH), the health insurance intermediary owned by Brown & Brown (Europe) Ltd ("Brown & Brown"), has completed its third acquisition in three months.

In March, PCH acquired 100% of the share capital of Midlands-based intermediary Central Healthcare Limited.

Closely following in April was the acquisition of PCH Solutions, an intermediary partnership based in Kent.

Rounding out the three transactions, PCH has acquired 100% of the share capital of NW London-based intermediary MGM Health Limited from Dr Geetha Muralee, who is a well-established specialist in the health industry.

All three intermediaries write consumer and business healthcare insurance, and, following the deals, Marc Nicol (director of Central Healthcare), Ian Reader and Russell Turner (Partners of PCH Solutions) and Dr Geetha Muralee will become PCH ambassadors.

PCH managing director Stephen Hough said: "Beyond giving us three well-established books of business, the deals will enable us to continue to build out our ambassador programme. This gives our very experienced intermediaries the opportunity to stay involved, maintain strong relationships with existing customers and help develop other members of our team by sharing their experience and their industry knowledge."

All three acquisitions have completed and the consideration is undisclosed.
