Broker expands commercial book with acquisition

Insurance broker AbbeyAutoline has acquired the customer book of business belonging to Martin Carey Insurance.

Based Lisnaskea, Martin Carey is a family-owned broker that has expertise in home, motor, business and farm vehicle insurance.

AbbeyAutoline said acquiring the firm formed part of its strategy to expand its commercial insurance portfolio and further grow in Northern Ireland.

Julie Gibbons, managing director at AbbeyAutoline said: “The acquisition of Martin Carey’s customer book of business is a key addition to our ongoing expansion strategy as we continually look to the future and expand our offerings.

“We’re excited to welcome this family-owned brokerage into the AbbeyAutoline family.

“Its outstanding reputation as a trusted insurance provider in Fermanagh and the surrounding areas makes them an ideal fit for our business.”

Integration

Martin Carey, managing director of the acquired firm, said that existing insurance policies and payment arrangements will remain unaffected throughout the integration process.

“The mortgage, life insurance and estate agency and valuation sections of the business will also continue to operate from our Lisnaskea Office at 87 Main Street,” he added.

“This exciting new chapter will allow our loyal customer base to benefit from AbbeyAutoline’s expanded range of personal and commercial insurance products, backed by the world’s leading insurers, alongside a commitment to deliver the same high-quality service they have come to expect for over 40 years.”
