Randall and Quilter chairman Ken Randall said that Synergy has established an excellent reputation within the specialist personal insurance market and will complement their existing MGA businesses.

Synergy is anticipated to grow premium strongly from the current year estimate of GBP6m and the acquisition of is expected to make a positive contribution to Randall and Quilter’s financial results in 2012 and beyond.
