One Broker expands UK presence with acquisition

UK-based One Broker Group has expanded its capabilities with the acquisition of Uttings Insurance Brokers in Norfolk.

The move will increase the group’s total headcount to more than 110 people, with three offices and a gross written premium (GWP) in excess of £60 million – making it “one of the largest independent insurance brokerages in the eastern region.”

Robin Plaster, CEO of One Broker Group, said: “The two businesses have known each other for some time and both share the same ethos and desire to look after their staff and provide superlative customer service.

“Uttings was a natural fit for us and I couldn’t be more pleased to have Mark and his wonderful team join the One Broker family.”

Mark Edmunds, managing director of Uttings, added: “High-quality independent insurance brokers are becoming increasingly rare and we are delighted to be joining one of East Anglia’s finest.”
