Adler Fairways has successfully concluded the acquisition of Absolute Cover, a London-based firm previously affiliated with the Thistle Group.

Absolute Cover is known for its specialisation in professional indemnity insurance (PII), catering primarily to financial services companies.

The acquisition of Absolute Cover marks Adler Fairways' third acquisition in 2024 (following IREDD in January) and is part of the brokerage’s strategic initiative to expand its business and enhance its client offerings through the provision of industry-leading advice, tailored insurance solutions, and outstanding service.

James Dingwall, founder of the Thistle Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition.

“Adler Fairways will undoubtedly extend the great service provided by Josh and Tom, ensuring our clients receive an excellent solution for their insurance needs,” Dingwall said. “On a personal level, I am also pleased to share that my involvement with the business will continue as I move into a consultant position supporting the continued growth in this sector.”

Joshua Upil, head of insurance at Absolute Cover, also commented on the deal, highlighting the role of insurance as a critical tool for businesses.
“We see insurance as an enabler, giving businesses peace of mind that their insurance cover provides a safety net as they continue to grow. We are incredibly excited to join Adler Fairways as this bolsters our capability to support our clients, allowing us to deliver additional expert advice, risk management solutions and bespoke cover across a broader portfolio of insurance."

“It’s fantastic that Absolute Cover have joined Adler Fairways. James, Joshua, and their colleague Tom Needham have strong knowledge across the insurance spectrum and their experience in the professional indemnity space compliments the expert knowledge that we already have in this area. I would like to welcome the Absolute Cover team and their clients to Adler Fairways,” Adler Fairways CEO Anthony Adler said.
