Consolidator boosts GWP by £7.2m.

Giles Insurance Brokers has completed the acquisition of Dickson Insurance Brokers Ltd.

Established in 1986 by chief executive, Paul Dickson, the company has grown to employ around 20 staff. In its last financial year it placed £7.2m GWP.

Giles will look to grow the impressive specialist book of business currently held by Dickson’s, much of which is centred on technology, private equity and venture capital clients.

Paul Dickson, chief executive of Dickson’s, said: “Over the past 20 years, we have built up a reputation for providing specialist corporate insurance solutions and look forward to working with Giles to build our business further.”

Chris Giles, chief executive of Giles, said: “Paul Dickson has an established reputation and a very strong portfolio of clients as well as specialist expertise in the technology and, private equity and venture capital sectors, which we will be looking to develop further.

“This acquisition takes to seven the number of offices we now have in the South, and we expect to see further growth as we continue to source other suitable opportunities.”
