Staffordshire-based Bartlett James Risk Solutions has acquired IPC Limited, marking a new chapter for the independent insurance business and strengthening its roots in the local community and across the UK.
The move brings IPC Limited’s clients into the Bartlett James business, ensuring continuity of service and maintaining the high standards both businesses are known for.
Nigel Bartlett, Director of Bartlett James Risk Solutions, said:
“This is an exciting moment for our business and for the local area. I’m delighted to welcome IPC Limited’s clients to Bartlett James.
“Ian Potter built a very respected business based on excellent client relationships, quality service and diligence in his delivery – the same values that drive us. We’re both local, we get to know our clients personally, and we understand the challenges businesses here face. This acquisition lets us continue that personal approach while helping even more business owners with their insurance needs.”
Founded in 2018 and based in Cannock, Bartlett James Risk Solutions has grown steadily under Nigel’s leadership, supporting local businesses in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, logistics, retail and professional services. The business is known for its straightforward advice, strong community ties and client-first approach.
The acquisition was completed with the backing of Momentum Broker Solutions, whose appointed representative model supports independent brokers like Bartlett James throughout their business journey. Momentum worked closely with both parties to ensure a seamless handover for clients.
“Momentum’s support has been invaluable,” added Nigel. “They made the process smooth and gave me the confidence to take this step knowing everything was handled professionally. It’s great to have a partner that understands what matters to local, independent brokers.”
This acquisition marks an exciting milestone for Bartlett James Risk Solutions as it continues to grow as part of the Staffordshire business community – staying independent, focused and rooted in the relationships that have shaped its success.
