Gott & Wynne, led by Barry Wynne, Michael Clough, and Steven Goldsmith, provides insurance solutions for Morgan sports cars and classic cars, as well as commercial, business, and property insurance. The current leadership team will remain with the business following completion of the acquisition.
Kelly Ogley (pictured above), CEO of Howden Consumer and Local Commercial, welcomed Gott & Wynne Limited to the global insurance intermediary.
“Having built a full-service insurance broker that is unrivalled in its quality in South Wales, the addition of Gott & Wynne is a significant step forward in growing our business in the north of the country,” Ogley said. She noted that both firms share values focused on clients, employees, and local communities.
Directors Wynne, Clough, and Goldsmith of Gott & Wynne said the move will enable the firm to deliver more value to clients.
“By joining Howden, with its extensive presence across South Wales, alongside its global network, Gott & Wynne will be positioned to provide greater value to our clients through enhanced solutions and capabilities,” they said.
In addition to its expansion in Wales, Howden recently agreed to acquire Gravitas Insurance Agency LLC, a brokerage based in Los Angeles that specialises in contingency insurance for music, sport, and live events. This transaction is part of Howden’s broader strategy to increase its presence in the United States, the world’s largest insurance market.
The group has also made several recent acquisitions in the entertainment insurance space, including UK-based performing arts broker Hencilla Canworth, German film and entertainment broker Franz Gossler, and Spanish entertainment broker Boni Aldaya.
