RFIB Group Limited (RFIB), the international Lloyd's insurance and reinsurance broker, has acquired Bridle Insurance Brokers (BIB), based near Southampton.
BIB, which has a particular focus on the SME sector, will be integrated into the RFIB Group in a new subsidiary, Bridle Insurance Brokers Limited.
The subsidiary will be headed by BIB proprietor, Adrian Beale, as managing director.
As part of the integration process, RFIB's Holbury office, headed by Paul Chapman, will become part of this new entity.
