Ardonagh Advisory closes strong year with addition of Westfield Insurance

Ardonagh Advisory has announced it will acquire Westfield Brokers Ltd* in a ‘final flourish’ to a positive year of growth for the Group.

Westfield Brokers, which trades under the name of Westfield Insurance, is an independent commercial broker based in Horsham, West Sussex, offering a diverse range of general insurance products, including, fleet, liability and contractors.

The business was established in 2009 by Managing Director Peter Cowan, who used his longstanding insurance industry experience to build a business focused on client service and excellence.   

Peter will continue to lead the business, which will join the Advisory platform, complementing Ardonagh’s existing presence in the West Sussex region.

Joe Conway, M&A Director, Ardonagh Advisory said:

“Westfield Insurance is a vibrant business that provides an outstanding service to clients thanks to its team of knowledgeable experts.

“The news that this business is set to join us really is the final flourish in what has been a remarkable year for Ardonagh Advisory.

“In 2023, we welcomed several highly regarded businesses which broadened our geographical reach and range of specialisms. These included some great names like, Stanhope Cooper, Renovation Underwriting, Pace Ward and PB Curran and most recently RiskSTOP Group, and we’re looking forward to even more to come for 2024.”

Peter Cowan, Managing Director of Westfield Brokers Ltd said:

“Over the years, Westfield Brokers has thrived thanks to our personally delivered service and reputation for excellence.

“We chose to join Ardonagh Advisory because there was a complete alignment in our culture, values and purpose. I know that we will be able to continue offering the same exceptional service our clients have come to know and trust.

“We’re looking forward to working with Ardonagh, to build on our existing offer, so that we can bring even more high-quality products services to our valued clients.”
