Aston Lark Ireland CEO Robert Kennedy said: “I am delighted that we have attracted another terrific business to the Aston Lark and Howden family. Geographically, this acquisition is also an excellent fit for Aston Lark, giving us our first presence in Kerry and Limerick. Our ambition is to continue our incredible growth journey to scale the business and support our clients with access to new markets and sectors.”

William Lyons Insurances and JC Daly Insurances director Mary Lyons and managing director Denny Lyons added: “As a family-run and operated business, a lot of thought went into deciding to join a larger organisation like Aston Lark. 

“We could not be more excited to join Aston Lark as they encapsulate what we were looking for, sharing our core values and ethos with passion for their people and customers.”
