Wilsons Insurance Group, a major player in the Manchester insurance market, has become The Purple Partnership’s landmark 100th network member.
The news marks a record-breaking year for the highly regarded, award winning Purple which recently became part of Marsh under their acquisition of the Jelf Group. In the last 12 months Purple has welcomed 19 new members, including a number of brokers who have departed other networks.
Commenting on the news, Les Brewin, Managing Director of the Purple Partnership, said: “We have enjoyed a great 2015 and are absolutely delighted to be marking the milestone of our 100th member with the signing of a major independent broker of the calibre of Wilsons as we start the new year. They are a fantastic business and I’m sure this is the start of a great relationship.
“We don’t aspire to being the biggest network, but we do want to be the best, and signing another significant member only strengthens the message that Purple offers the ideal balance of support and independence. We’re confident that the acquisition of the Jelf Group by Marsh will enable us to bring a further enhanced proposition to our members.â€
Gareth Hooper, Director at Wilsons explained: “We’re fiercely independent but have been very impressed by the team at Purple and know we’ll receive real benefit and support from them by giving us access to markets and high-quality products at enhanced terms, all of which helps provide us with competitive advantage for our customers.â€
