Goggin, Managing Director, BWI, commented, “We are excited for the next stage of our journey with Novatae. We are very proud of our reputation in existing classes of business and grateful for the continued support shown to us by both existing clients as well as markets.

“We are now well positioned to enhance our range of services. Through organic growth and acquisition, the group will offer many great opportunities and will bring new business to the London market, further expanding the Bretton Woods (BWI) offering.”

Richard Kerr, Chief Executive Officer, Novatae Risk Group, said, “Acquiring a well-established Lloyds broker was an important strategic addition to the Novatae expansion plan. Bretton Woods International has an exemplary reputation which fits perfectly with our mission to build new Lloyds coverholder facilities that deliver solid profits for our underwriting partners.”
