MWA boss Katie Small to continue developing the business
R K Harrison Group has completed its acquisition of specialist high net worth broker Mercury West Associates (MWA).
MWA specialises in servicing clients in entertainment and professional sports, including high performance motor insurance and has established partnerships with associations such as the Professional Footballers’ Association.
MWA will work closely with R K Harrison’s high net worth team.
The deal, first announced in November, sees Mercury West Associates’ managing director Katie Small maintains management responsibility for the development of MWA.
She will also join the management team of R K Harrison Insurance Services, the UK retail arm of the R K Harrison Group.
Small said: “The high net worth sector now extends way beyond house contents and motor insurances traditionally associated with the sector. Clients expect a wide range of products and services specially designed around their lifestyles. They are used to the best. R K Harrison’s broad based expertise will appeal to MWA clients.”
Stuart Rootham, managing director of R K Harrison Insurance Services added: “High net worth insurance is an increasingly competitive arena, yet at that top level, the ability to deliver expert products with excellent service is really what makes the difference.
“MWA brings motor expertise as well as the opportunity to offer our broader expertise to new clients in the entertainment and professional sports industries. The synergies are clear.”
