By GlobalDataMullins commented: “Envest specialises in acquiring and growing underwriting agencies that have a niche product and distribution – All Parks fits the bill and also has an excellent market reputation and established client base.”
“Their competitive advantage in the market is not only specialised policy wording but their proactive approach to risk management and the ability to provide experienced advice and service.”
According to Pernecker, All Parks are the only devoted national underwriting agency that specialises in this market.
“Our aim is not only to write insurance policies but also to assist parks in developing proper risk management controls. Therefore, our underwriting standards do not necessarily relate only to the quality of the assets but more to the quality and attitude of Park Management.”
Envest wrapped up the acquisition of All Parks last month. The company said it is the first of a number of acquisitions planned for the first half of the year.
