Andy Brownsell, CEO of Starpeak Insurance Solutions, said: “We have made a strong start to the year, delivering double-digit growth while continuing to invest in the products, brands and technology that will support our next phase. This performance reflects the work of teams across the business.”

He added: “Following the management buyout, we have an ambitious team, a clear strategy and the backing to invest in the areas where we see the greatest opportunity. We are pleased with our progress at the halfway point and remain focused on carrying that momentum into the second half.”
