Integro acquires Stonehouse Conseillers
US broker Integro has acquired Stonehouse Conseillers, a London-based broker specialising in commercial film production companies and international advertising agencies.
The current Stonehouse management team, led by directors Mark Good and Tony Wall, will remain in place and will partner with other Integro entertainment specialists.
To date, Integro has built its entertainment practice with the acquisition of Frost Specialty, Allan Chapman James, Doodson Broking Group and Multimedia Risk.
“Entertainment is a key niche area for Integro and this acquisition demonstrates our continued commitment to become the broker of choice for clients who work in this sector,” said Integro president and chief operating officer Bill Goldstein. “We recently expanded our entertainment practice specialties and adding the Stonehouse capabilities to our team is great news for our clients.”
Good said: “Becoming part of Integro’s global Entertainment practice is a positive development for Stonehouse’s clients and staff. It increases our access to Lloyd’s and other key insurance markets in the UK and USA, plus it allows us to develop existing insurance programmes for key clients. The combined forces of the group will deliver greater market presence and a platform from which we can progress the scope of our broking services within the UK and internationally. We are very excited.”
Wall added: “Personal service will remain our key priority and, with the benefit of the greater resources being delivered by the Integro group, we will have even more time to devote to the needs of our clients. We look forward to working closely with Integro to add value to our client service proposition.”
