Partners& has acquired 3 Dimensional Insurance Limited, which is a Lloyd’s broker based in Upshire, Essex with a focus on property. The deal follows the recently announced acquisition of Avenue Insurance Partners and Ko-bolt International. The nine-strong team at 3DI will move to Partners& and form the foundation of the group’s operations as a Lloyd’s broker.

Phil Barton, group CEO at Partners&, said: “3DI has an excellent reputation in the market as an expert in their field. This acquisition represents our first step in building our Lloyd’s broking business, which we see as a valuable part of our overall proposition, supporting and complementing our retail broking and underwriting businesses.”

Keith Langton and Haydn Hertz, joint managing partners at 3DI, added: “Our aim is to support clients to find the right solutions for their clients’ businesses – and we’re using the best technology to do this. We’re excited to be part of a larger entity that still thinks of itself as a smaller, agile business focused on the needs of clients.”
