PIB Group Ltd has acquired Guernsey-based general insurance broker Ross Gower Group. It was founded in 1948 and has a team of 18 led by owner and director Dean De La Rue and director Gareth Burchell. It provides car, home and commercial vehicle insurance to clients in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

The acquisition will sit within PIB’s Channel Islands division company, Channel Insurance Brokers, which was acquired in 2016

Tony De Sousa, group managing director at Channel Insurance Brokers, said: “I look forward to working collaboratively with the Ross Gower team as we combine our expertise. By learning from each other and sharing our strengths, we are well positioned to further enhance the services we collectively offer to our clients and prospective clients across the Channel Islands.”

De La Rue, added: “Joining PIB Group and working closely with Channel Insurance Brokers marks a pivotal moment for Ross Gower Group, as two long-established Channel Island companies begin to collaborate.”
