NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) March 12, 2018 -- NFP, a leading insurance broker and consultant that provides employee benefits, property & casualty (P&C), retirement and individual private client solutions, today announced that it has acquired Wentworth Employee Benefits Limited (WEB). The transaction closed on December 8, 2017.
Based in Daventry, United Kingdom, WEB is an advisory firm that specializes in pension administration and consulting, as well as employee-sponsored risk benefits. WEB will further strengthen NFP’s existing offerings of group benefits and P&C services in the UK. Principals of the firm, Richard Basford, Philip Hitchman and Elizabeth Hitchman, will join NFP’s U.K. division as directors, reporting to Kishan Herriotts, Managing Director of Mackenzie Taylor Benefits Consultants Limited under NFP.
“We’re excited to welcome the Wentworth team to the NFP family,” said Herriotts. “Wentworth brings pension administration and consulting services to our clients in the U.K. market and rounds out our group benefits portfolio and P&C offerings. This combination of newly enhanced services will allow us to address the full suite of insurance and consulting needs of our U.K. clients and prospects.”
“Joining the NFP U.K. team is a great way to start the New Year,” said Basford. “We look forward to connecting our capabilities to NFP’s local networks and providing comprehensive employee benefit offerings to our customers.”
