Bluefin makes sixth acquisition in 2016

Independent UK-based insurance broker Bluefin has acquired Northern Alliance Brokers, based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

This deal marks Bluefin’s sixth acquisition this year. In a recent move, Bluefin has acquired Obsbornes Insurance Oxford, an independent insurance broker, in July as part of its expansion in the Oxford area.

All members of staff within Northern Alliance have been retained and the existing management will continue to lead the team.

Dan Maltby, director at Northern Alliance commented: “It’s a pleasure to complete this deal to become part of Bluefin, a broker with significant reach and influence across the industry and a commitment to client service very much in line with our own. We look forward to growing as part of Bluefin using their significant experience in Yorkshire and nationwide.”

Robert Organ, CEO of Bluefin, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Northern Alliance Brokers into the Bluefin group. Its Wakefield location and the make-up of its book, including a noteworthy specialism in renewable energy, makes Northern Alliance an ideal fit for Bluefin and our strategy of acquiring top performing, specialist businesses.”
