ETHOS BROKING EXPANDS INTO AUSTRALIA

UK regional broker network Ethos Broking, part of Ardonagh, has launched Ethos Broking Australia. It launches with a “strong pipeline” of businesses to be acquired or invested in, it said. Ethos Broking Australia will be led by chief executive Adrian Kitchin, previously chief executive of Australian broker Resilium Insurance Broking, which was acquired by Ardonagh earlier this year. “Ethos will provide like-minded insurance brokers flexibility in working with us to achieve their individual goals,” said Kitchin. “Ethos offers an alternative to consolidation and brings their business into a growing and connected group of strong regional brands,” he said.
