Aston Lark Ireland, an insurance broker and Howden company, has announced the acquisition of Pembroke Insurances Limited.
Set up in 2007 by Graham Weir and John McGuire, Pembroke Insurances has been providing commercial insurance solutions for over a decade, and has grown a strong reputation as a trusted name within the Irish insurance sector, serving a broad spectrum of clients throughout the country.
Through its dedicated hardworking and knowledgeable team, Pembroke has built strong relationships with both clients and insurers to enable them to provide the best advice and value.
Robert Kennedy, Aston Lark Ireland CEO, said: “We have known Graham, Paul and the Pembroke Insurances team for a long time. They have always shared our vision and culture for insurance broking due to their commitment to delivering outstanding service and building much-valued relationships with clients and insurers alike.
“Our sights are firmly focused on being the broker of choice in Ireland, and the acquisition of Pembroke Insurances today is another step forward in realising that ambition. I’m delighted that Graham, Paul and the team have decided to join the Aston Lark and Howden family.”
Graham Weir, Pembroke Insurances Managing Director, commented: “We are delighted to be joining the Aston Lark family of companies. We feel that we have a shared ethos and goals and that this move will further strengthen our ability to provide world-class service and value to our customers while retaining our culture. Since Pembroke was set up in 2007, we have steadily developed our customer and insurer relations, and joining the Aston Lark group makes sense as the next logical step on our journey.”
Paul Murphy, Pembroke Insurances Director, added: “We are excited about entering this next phase of our journey and would like to assure all our customers and staff of our continued dedication to providing the best service. With the shared ethos and culture between Pembroke and Aston Lark and joining a larger company, we can further enhance our service and offering to our customers.”
Pembroke Insurances is not the only recent acquisition for Aston Lark Ireland, as it was reported in early August that the company had acquired Sparrow Insurances Limited, a company that offers a full range of commercial and personal insurance products as well as life, pensions and investment products to its clients.
