The financial value of the deal, which expands Davies’ insurance services offering globally, was not disclosed.

Davies Group CEO Dan Saulter said: “The expansion of our operations across North America with additional and new high-value services capability continues to be an important strategy for Davies.

Davies will retain all of Merlinos’ employees, who will continue in their roles within Davies.

We look forward to working with the wider Davies team to continue our client-centric focus and offer expanded insurance services and related state of the art technology investments from the broader Davies group.”
