Aston Lark has acquired Phoenix Healthcare (UK).
Phoenix Healthcare, based in Oadby, Leicestershire, was founded in 1996 and is an independent UK broker and adviser specialising in all aspects of corporate healthcare provision.
Aston Lark is currently backed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Bowmark Capital, but will soon be acquired by Howden. In recent months the firm added corporate insurance broker and employee benefits consulting firm Innovation Broking and private medical insurance specialist Choice Benefits to its portfolio.
Aston Lark CEO Peter Blanc says: “When I first met Paul and Lee, it was clear that they share the same client service ethos as Aston Lark. We’re becoming a real powerhouse in Private Medical Insurance, and I’m delighted to welcome Paul, Lee and their team to the Aston Lark family.”
Phoenix Healthcare director Paul Wright says: “Both Lee Shorter and I have over 35 years’ experience in the industry, and are delighted to choose Aston Lark as the long-term partner for our business. We firmly believe that they will be a great home for our staff and share our client-first approach to corporate healthcare broking.”
Phoenix Healthcare director Lee Shorter says: “Becoming part of Aston Lark and having access to their resources and products will provide great opportunity for further helping our clients.”
