’This is a great deal for SRG and reinforces our commitment to investing in specialist sectors,’ says deputy chief executive

Specialist Risk Group (SRG) has acquired the ongoing business of Carriagehouse.

Established over 30 years ago, Carriagehouse supports the equestrian industry with a range of specialist products.

This includes policies for horses and donkeys, horseboxes and horse trailers, carriages and harness and commercial carriage drivers.

“This is a great deal for SRG and reinforces our commitment to investing in specialist sectors across the UK and internationally,” Lee Anderson, SRG deputy chief executive, said.

SRG said the offering “neatly complements” its existing equestrian business KBIS, which joined forces with SRG in January 2021.

“KBIS are leaders in the equestrian industry and the addition of the Carriagehouse book will enable them to support a more diverse client base within this specialist sector,” Anderson said.

Fiona Gordon-Clarke, Carriagehouse director, added: “I am excited by this deal and am looking forward to further supporting our Carriagehouse clients as they move over to KBIS. It is important to me that our clients continue to receive the high level of service and specialist coverage they have come to expect.

“The synergy between our teams and the comprehensive range of equestrian insurance products that KBIS offers, in addition to those developed by Carriagehouse, will ensure this going forward.”
