JMG Group has acquired Langton London Insurance Brokers and Portsoken Ltd. It comprises commercial broker Langton London and managing general agent Portsoken. Langton London controls gross written premiums of £7m and has a focus on professional indemnity, cyber, recruitment and specialist SME risks. Portsoken specialises in the recruitment and property professional sectors.

Eddie Ferrao and Tony Gutteridge established Langton London nine years ago and it has a team of 14 based at its Redhill headquarters.

Ferrao, managing director at Langton London, said: “We reached a point where we wanted to take the business to the next level and joining JMG gives us the support to do that. It has already removed much of the administrative and compliance burden, allowing us to focus more on clients and we are already seeing the benefits of being part of a larger group.”

Nick Houghton, CEO of JMG Group, added: “Langton London is a trusted, experienced and ambitious broker that fits perfectly with our approach. Eddie, Tony and the team are passionate about what they do and are hungry to grow their business while keeping a clear focus on clients.”
