Aston Lark Group CEO Peter Blanc said: “I have known Nic, Matt, Phil and of course Philip Hodson for many years. They are first-class insurance brokers and have a true client-first ethos. They have built an outstanding business and we now have an opportunity to partner together to more than double the business again over the coming few years.”
