By GlobalData“Through our membership of Bravo Networks, we have long benefitted from their strong operational support and access to markets, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank Phil Bayles, chief commercial officer of Ardonagh Advisory, who I have worked with for many years through our Bravo Networks membership, for his support through this process.”
Rowett provides an array of agricultural insurance solutions that cover farm and agricultural vehicles, equipment and risk management solutions.
Its expertise spans commercial motor, property, liability and business insurances.
It also offers a range of covers, from car and house insurance to travel and vehicle breakdown cover.
Advisory Insurance Brokers CEO Richard Tuplin said: “Rowett Insurance is highly complementary to our agricultural specialism and bolsters our presence in the south-west of England. Rowett’s long-standing connections with farming communities are a testament to the high-calibre people who we look forward to welcoming.”
Ardonagh Advisory Broking houses brands such as Bravo Networks, Footman James and Towergate.
Last month, Ardonagh Group completed its acquisition of PSC Insurance Group.
