US-based insurance distribution and services company Venbrook Group has acquired Alpharetta Underwriters for an undisclosed sum.

Alpharetta Underwriters comes with more than seven decades of underwriting experience.

The acquisition is aimed at strengthening Venbrook’s existing portfolio of excess & surplus (E&S) programmes.

Its E&S programmes currently feature MGAs such as Cardigan General (commercial transportation), and ComStar General Insurance Solutions and REAPA (commercial real estate).

Venbrook founder and CEO Jason Turner said: “They have built an outstanding reputation in the E&S wholesale market as the underwriters of choice for complex and challenging construction and contractor’s risks.
