DNA Insurance managing director Danny Imray added: “I’m hugely proud of the hardworking and loyal DNA team, and this needed to be the right fit for us. After getting to know Peter and Stuart, we’ve really bought into the genuine customer-first ethos of Aston Lark.

“We’re excited about working even harder going forward and growing further both organically and through acquisition with the additional resources we’ll have available to us as part of the Aston Lark Group.”

Last month, Aston Lark acquired Balbriggan-based North County Brokers and Venture Insurance Brokers in separate deals.

In November last year, the company snapped up two new brokers that were owned by Accelerant Holdings-subsidiary Risk Alliance Group.

The acquired entities were Risk Alliance and Risk Alliance International.
