’This acquisition accelerates our strategy of growing our specialisms,’ says managing director
Specialist broker Kingfisher Insurance has acquired MIS Motorsport’s UK and Ireland commercial business.
MIS Motorsport provides on-track insurance coverage for the UK, Europe and Asia.
Through the acquisition of its commercial book, Kingfisher will create a new division that will focus on products for professional and amateur motorsports teams and businesses.
The entity will be known as MIS Commercial and be operated by the existing MIS team in Leeds.
The rest of the MIS Motorsport business will remain under its current ownership.
James Stuart, managing director at Kingfisher, said: “We are excited to welcome the MIS Commercial clients and team to the Kingfisher family.
“MIS has built a strong commercial book and this acquisition accelerates our strategy of growing our specialisms, reaffirming our commitment to the motorsports industry.”
