The division currently operates from five offices across Scotland, two in Glasgow and one each in Inverness, Dumfries, and St Andrews. 

The second acquired company, Keith Miller Insurance Services, is an independent personal and commercial insurance intermediary controlling a GWP of £2.5m. 

This company offers a range of products including those for hotels, agriculture, commercial vehicles, and golf courses.  

According to Seventeen Group, Keith Miller Insurance Services’ strong hotel book is particularly complementary to James Hallam’s Hospitality & Travel team, while Keith Miller also manages various key long-standing clients across multiple sectors. 

Keith Miller Insurance Services will also rebrand to James Hallam and its team will join the group’s West Sussex office in the UK.  

In addition, Keith Miller himself will continue to be with the group and assist in a smooth transition while taking up an ambassadorial role for the broader business. 

Seventeen Group CEO Paul Anscombe said: “Both are very complementary and bring on board highly experienced individuals to help achieve our growth ambitions.  

“We have been growing in Scotland over many years and see huge opportunities in this region as an independent broker. With Keith Miller, Keith and his team bring a client service approach which fits incredibly well with us.”
