’Our growth is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team,’ says chief executive

Jensten Group has pushed its headcount to over 1,000 employees after completing three acquisitions.

The insurance distribution business said its deals with Chris Knott Insurance Consultants, Robert Gerrard and Co and Asprey Harris had now closed.

Chris Knott brings a team of 19 professionals and an office in Hastings, along with an additional £6.1m in gross written premium (GWP).

Robert Gerrard also adds 19 staff and a new office in Chingford, while Chesham-based Asprey Harris brings a team of three.

”In tandem with these acquisitions, Jensten is proud to announce that it has surpassed 1,000 employees,” the business said.

“This achievement underscores the company’s rapid growth, having more than doubled its employee numbers over the past two years.”

Strategy

The acquisitions of Chris Knott and Robert Gerrard form part of Jensten’s strategy of being a sector focused specialist schemes broker.

Asprey Harris, meanwhile, enhances Jensten’s strategic regional expansion.

Alistair Hardie, chief executive at Jensten, said: “Our growth is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team.

”By integrating new businesses and attracting talented specialists, we have strengthened our capabilities and enhanced our ability to deliver expert support to our clients. Our growth strategy continues to solidify Jensten’s position as a leading connected broker.”
