As a growing business, Malago Insurance Brokers are pleased to announce the acquisition of Mulberry Insurance Brokers, following the retirement of their principal Keith Johnson.
Speaking about the acquisition, Managing Director Mathew Rowles highlights the importance of remaining personal.
“We will continue to offer service to Keith’s clients in the same way that they appreciated it from him: with an emphasis on the personal touch and getting to know each business and their owners. This will be a natural fit because it is the very way we look after our own clients already”.
The transition period
To further smooth the transition, Keith will join the Malago team where he will ensure that every client’s individual needs are met, and nothing is missed. When this is complete, he will look forward to a well-earned retirement, and a bucket list of 100 experiences to start working through!
“Current clients of Mulberry Insurance Brokers can be assured that any current insurances will continue to run until renewal, at which point we will be in touch under the Malago brand” reassures Mathew. “Of course, if there are any questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to Keith or to us here at Malago Insurance Brokers”.
More about Malago Insurance Brokers
Malago is a Bristol-based insurance brokerage that has been in operation since January 2016. Like Keith at Mulberry, we specialise in commercial insurance. Our founder is Mathew Rowles who, is Bristol-born and, has numerous years’ experience in the insurance industry. We have a team of professionals looking after our clients, who range from sole traders to businesses with a £15 million turnover.
Malago are proudly independent. We find the best deal on the market combined with a personal service – something that larger operators find hard to deliver. We also share the same principal firm, Momentum Broker Solutions, with Mulberry Insurance Brokers. This adds an extra layer of continuity to our service.
On retirement, Keith Johnson said:
“After more than 40 years, the bitter-sweet moment has arrived when I have decided to retire. It was not an easy decision as I have enjoyed my role so much. Building up relationships with my clients was crucial to me, and I was conscious to leave them in safe hands. With a similar client base and values, Mathew at Malago is just that.”
On the acquisition, our managing director Mathew Rowles adds:
“Having known Keith for many years, I am really pleased to add his customers to our growing portfolio. We will offer continuity to his client base: something that I know was very important to Keith when he was contemplating retirement. Our values at Malago, and indeed our existing client base, bear strong similarities to Mulberry’s, so I am confident that we will be able to offer a seamless transition.”
