Worcestershire-based broker Hazelton Mountford has purchased White Knight Group’s customer book of business. The deal adds an office in Lydney to Hazelton Mountford’s existing operations in Worcester and Evesham. It has a focus on general commercial, property, haulage and transport and not for profit insurance.
