Howden secures second Irish market acquisition in under a month
Global insurance intermediary group Howden has expanded its portfolio in the Irish insurance market with its second acquisition in less than a month.
Following its acquisition of Coversure (trading as Surety Bonds) in Ireland in February, the company has now acquired Drogheda-based Intersure Group to further strengthen its ability in the Irish insurance market, as it expands its geographical footprint across the country.
Established in 1999 by Noeleen Butterly, Intersure is an owner-managed business with its office in Drogheda, Co. Louth, providing technical insurance advice across commercial, business, construction and liability lines, and personal lines including home, motor and travel.
Robert Kennedy (pictured), CEO, Howden Ireland, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Noeleen and her team to Howden. This acquisition means that we are continuing on our path to become the local broker of choice across Ireland, ensuring great service for both commercial and personal lines clients. We are very excited to expand further into the North-East of Ireland, with our first office in Co. Louth. We are looking forward to working with Noeleen and her team to introduce Howden’s solutions across commercial insurance, personal insurance, health insurance, life and pensions and mortgages to clients in the North-East of Ireland.”
Noeleen Butterly, managing director, Intersure added: “Intersure Group is very excited to become part of Howden, a global leader in insurance broking. This is a big step towards offering better services and solutions to our clients and employees. Howden's global expertise and resources will greatly enhance our ability to provide innovative solutions tailored to our client's needs. Under the Howden brand, we'll continue to service our clients seamlessly. They can expect no disruption in service, just more options and better support.”
