P&C insurance broker NFP has announced that it has acquired Direct Safety Solutions.

Direct Safety Solutions is a health and safety consultancy based in the West Midlands serving employers in various sectors. The company offers audits, provision of policies and management systems, risk assessments, training and ongoing support packages.

According to NFP, the acquisition will allow it to integrate customised health and safety offerings with its existing commercial insurance, employee benefits, and human resources services.

As part of the transaction, Direct Safety Solutions managing director Jonathan Williams will join NFP’s leadership team in the UK.

“We are delighted to join the NFP family and its colleagues who share our commitment to providing client-focused solutions,” commented Williams. “This fabulous opportunity also enables our clients to access NFP’s global network of integrated insurance, HR, benefits, wealth management and retirement solutions, which will help them meet their holistic business needs.” 

The move comes shortly after NFP made its first healthcare-related acquisition in Ireland with the purchase of Tailored Finance Limited. Established 2008, the Dublin-based firm posted gross written annual premiums at €25 million in 2021.
