Aston Lark boosts Howden portfolio with latest acquisition

Insurance broker  Aston Lark, a  Howden company, has acquired AJ Insurance Service.

Based in Tilbury in Essex, AJ Insurance was established in 1979 by Albert and John Wyatt.

The original focus of the business was personal lines, before it expanded to the commercial side. AJ Insurance specialises in construction, motor fleet and motor trade, with a growing property account. The team provides household insurance and motor insurance, specialising in drivers over 80 years of age or those requiring extended overseas use.

Peter Blanc (pictured), Aston Lark Group CEO, said: “I’m delighted that John and the team have decided to join the Aston Lark and Howden family – and I’m certain that the business will grow and thrive over the coming years.”

John Kemp, managing director of AJ Insurance Service, added: “As AJ Insurance moves forward with the additional strength of Aston Lark, we feel we can guarantee our clients the best solutions to their insurance needs, with the same commitment to high level customer service as previously.”
