Earlier this month, Ardonagh Advisory, part of the Ardonagh Group, expanded its portfolio by acquiring Solutions Healthcare, a broker that provides insurance services to commercial and individual clients throughout the UK.
Furthermore, last month, Ardonagh Advisory strengthened its position in specialised insurance for private clients by acquiring Hoxton Risk Services.
Hoxton Risk Services was founded in 2020 by high-net-worth underwriting expert Justin Gott, and offers policies covering vehicles, residential and investment properties, and travel.
