ProAktive Risk Group has bought DMS Services, a specialist scheme for insuring self-build projects.

DMS Services will be renamed DMS Self-Build and will feature cover for property extensions, renovations and small speculative building projects.

Andy Morley, director of ProAktive Risk Group, commented: "The purchase of DMS forms part of our expansion strategy, both locally and regionally, and enhances the breadth of business and schemes within our group.

"The DMS scheme has a proven track record and an excellent reputation, thanks to the experience of its staff, who are experts in self-build and have long-standing experience in the sector.”
