Independent Lloyd’s intermediary Lonsdale Insurance Brokers Ltd has entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation. Neil Bennett and Alex Cadwallader, both directors of Leonard Curtis, have been appointed as joint liquidators. The firm had been trading since 1996. It was authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Bennett commented: “The Covid-19 pandemic impacted dramatically on the Company, with many of its existing clients not continuing in the marketplace. The Company also continued to suffer from a lack of working capital, which led to the investors having to support the business.”
