James Hallam buys Howden portfolio

Seventeen Group subsidiary James Hallam has bought a portfolio of care home business from Howden Insurance Brokers.

As part of the deal, two Howden staff will join James Hallam in its Harrogate office.  

James Hallam managing director Paul Anscombe said: “We are developing our healthcare sector business so this is a good strategic fit.”

James Hallam has also become a sponsor of the English Community Care Association (ECCA).

Howden Professional Risks division managing director Lance Rigby said: “Though I am disappointed that we are unable to continue our work with the ECCA membership at this time, I am confident that James Hallam can provide our clients with a quality service.”
