Ardonagh Advisory has acquired Rollinson Smith Insurance Brokers (“RSIB”), a leading community broker servicing the Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands and North Wales regions with significant reach in London and other areas of the country.
RSIB was founded in 1974 and offers commercial and personal lines, with Fleet, Motor Trade and Commercial Combined among its core product offering.
Today (8 July 2024) the team of 26 operates from Telford, with an additional office in Colwyn Bay, Conwy serving clients in North Wales. Managing Director Chris Hartley will continue to lead the business.
Phil Bayles, Ardonagh Advisory Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Rollinson Smith is a fitting example of the kind of high-quality regional broker we seek to bring into Ardonagh Advisory. Chris and team are set to both expand our geographical reach in the Midlands and complement our existing service propositions.”
Chris Hartley added: “Having celebrated 50 years of trading, the Ardonagh Advisory platform is the ideal home for the next chapter of Rollinson Smith. It brings significant opportunities for our longstanding team to grow and collaborate as part of a globally recognised broking collective and in turn deliver the very best service to clients across Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands and North Wales.”
