The five firms are: MCM Insurance from Manchester; Portmore Insurance Brokers from Southampton; Websters Insurance from West Yorkshire; Oncover from Cheltenham and Youngsons Insurance from Aberdeen.
Compass managing director John Lincoln said: “Compass Broker Services has got off to a flying start and we are delighted to have attracted brokers from all over the country to our new network. It demonstrates that our key focus on developing a placement strategy for each Broker Partner, which will offer sustained growth and profitability, is highly attractive to brokers.”
Portmore Insurance Brokers managing director Graham Jacobs said: “Following a review of our network needs we decided that Compass Broker Services provided the best solution to our underwriting requirements, and we look forward to the enjoying the benefits the network offers.”
