In a viewpoint piece for Insurance Day, Paul McCreadie discusses why M&A in the insurance market will offer brokers the chance to cross sell and break into new areas which will be key for growth post-Covid.
Whilst the pandemic caused M&A activity to plummet across the board, Paul believes that M&A will be what drives growth going forwards especially as organic growth becomes more difficult across specialisms. Smaller brokers are likely to find merit in joining a larger team and benefitting from better operational support, as well as the synergies of a wider client base, and acquirers are likely to offer a chance to cross-sell their offering and break into new areas. Paul says, “M&A should not just provide a safe harbour to ride out the crisis and looming recession, it should help drive growth.”
