Miller CEO Greg Collins said: “We have clear aspirations to expand Miller’s footprint in Europe through targeted expansion and are pleased to announce the acquisition of Henner Sports as part of this strategy.”

Other than re/insurance broking services, Henner Sports offers delegated underwriting services for its partner carriers. 

Miller joint head of special risks James Hands said: “Miller is already a market leader in sports insurance, and Henner Sports is a natural fit to further strengthen this offering. They have established an outstanding client base and reputation in France, in particular within football, and have developed a proprietary online underwriting tool that significantly enhances distribution.”

Henner Sport director general Didier Loiseau said: “We are delighted to join Miller, their commitment to a client-led approach and the strength of their existing Sports team makes them a natural fit for us. We have significant ambitions for our next phase of growth, including establishing a greater international presence and a broader product offering.”
