August 2022

Seventeen Group has acquired CCRS Brokers Ltd, with the deal completing on 15th August 2022.

CCRS was established in 2008 by its owner Neil Campbell and today employs 30 staff in Glasgow handling Gross Written Premium of £13.5M.

Seventeen Group Chief Executive comments:

“We have known Neil Campbell and the CCRS business for a number of years and admired the highly professional approach they take with clients. Seventeen Group already has a long- standing presence in Scotland, with our Dumfries office employing 50 staff, but the acquisition of CCRS provides us with a home in Glasgow and a strong foundation to build upon. As a true independent broker, we see further opportunities for clients and staff who value continuity and quality advice.

A further unique opportunity which CCRS brings is The Digital Broker. This is a fantastic tool to manage client data and help support client facing staff to ask the right questions of clients when placing their insurance programme. It identifies relevant risks which clients ought to be considering and provides a trail of such communication”.

Seventeen Group has acquired Broker Scotland Ltd, a property sector specialist broker operating out of central Glasgow and handling Gross Written Premiums of £4.75M.

The business was formed in 2013 by owners Scott and Louise Campbell, who will be remaining with the business in the existing premises alongside the wider team.

Seventeen Group Chief Executive Paul Anscombe comments: “We are delighted to welcome Scott, Louise and the team on board. Broker Scotland is a growing business seeking to develop further. With our recent acquisition of CCRS in Glasgow, we see the two teams working closely together to build our business in Scotland.

Seventeen Group now employs over 350 staff across 12 offices within the UK and has over 80 staff in three locations in Scotland. We are a Chartered Lloyds Broker with a Risk Management team and EU capability through our London Re joint venture based in Germany.
