Continuing its recent acquisition spree, Aston Lark has snapped up a further two brokers, Risk Alliance and Risk Alliance International.

Risk Alliance is West Yorkshire-based specialist schemes broker focused on photographers, the leisure sector and non-standard household. Risk Alliance International is a Belfast-based broker with a focus on haulage and logistics.

The deal sees a total of 14 staff move across to Aston Lark in Bingley and a further 9 members of staff in Belfast, with a combined GWP of £12m across the two businesses.

Group CEO of Aston Lark, Peter Blanc, said “We are very excited to have added both Risk Alliance and Risk Alliance International to the Aston Lark family. Geographically, both acquisitions are an excellent fit for Aston Lark giving us our first presence in Northern Ireland and our first presence in Yorkshire. We look forward to working with the management teams, comprising Adrian Wilson and Gareth Morgan in Belfast and Daphne Pickles, Daniel Hobson and Abbie Mason in Bingley, to help them to grow in their various areas of specialism.”

Both brokers were previously part of the Risk Alliance Group, which includes NBS, and were acquired by Accelerant in September 2019.
