Ensurance CEO Tom Kent said: “The proceeds of the sale will further strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, positioning Ensurance to capitalise on the immense growth opportunities we see in the Australian market and continue to execute our growth strategy – both organically and through targeted and strategic business acquisitions.

“Our Australian business is continuing to expand rapidly and deliver strong results, as outlined in our December Quarterly Report (see ASX announcement, 30 January 2023), including the recent establishment of our Australian Casualty Division, which more than doubles Ensurance’s accessible premium market in Australia.”

In a separate stock exchange filing, PSC said it has signed a binding agreement to buy the entire stake in Turner Rawlinson & Company (TUR) for £4.5m.

Set up in 1980, TUR is an independent insurance retail insurance broker based in North London.
