What We Do
Since our formation in 2015, PIB Group has been on a mission to create a leading position in the provision of specialist insurance solutions across the UK market and beyond.
It’s been an exciting journey as we’ve remained focused and committed to delivering everything that we set out to achieve. We’ve been growing rapidly through acquisition, and by employing outstanding individuals with a wealth of knowledge and experience across the insurance market.
By bringing together companies and individuals recognised as leaders across a range of specialist markets, PIB can draw on their vast expertise and insights which in turn enables customers to enjoy the highest levels of service.
That journey has led to PIB Group today being a highly diversified insurance distribution consolidator focusing on specialist commercial lines and non-standard personal lines products with deep expertise across both direct and B2B distribution through its broking, underwriting and network divisions.
In 2021, PIB Group secured further investment from Apax partners (the ‘Apax Funds’) and re-investment from PIB’s existing investor since 2015 The Carlyle Group. The investments enable PIB to continue our ambitious growth plans.
