Specialist Risk Group has added Champion Insurance Group to its stable in a deal that includes the company’s subsidiaries, Champion Professional Risks and Champion Health & Benefits. Headquartered in Manchester, Champion Insurance Group supports clients across a range of commercial and personal lines and will become part of SRG’s UK retail division.

Lee Anderson (pictured), group deputy CEO at Specialist Risk Group, said: “Champion’s regional strength and advisory approach are a perfect complement to our UK retail platform, and we look forward to what we can achieve together."

Dan Maloney, founder and managing director at Champion Insurance Group, added: “This is a really exciting step forward for our business. From our first conversations, it was obvious that SRG understood who we are and where we’re going. We share the same belief in combining expertise, integrity, and genuine care for clients.

“With SRG’s support and wider capabilities, we’re well placed to accelerate our growth and continue delivering for our clients across the North West and beyond."
