Insurance Connections, a formidable newcomer in the commercial insurance brokerage sector, has officially announced its launch under the leadership of industry veteran Nathan Walton. The venture comes with the robust backing of The Broker Investment Group.
Nathan Walton, renowned for his extensive experience in the insurance broking domain, has strategically assembled a team of professionals specializing in commercial insurance broking. Backed by The Broker Investment Group, Walton has capitalized on his well-established network within the insurance sector, resulting in notable client acquisitions and a substantial increase in gross written premium (GWP) since the firm’s inception.
Walton’s foray into insurance broking dates back to 2003 when he founded JSW Insurance. Over the course of a decade, he steered the business to significant growth before successfully selling it to The County Group in 2013, subsequently assuming a pivotal role on their board.
While with The County Group, Walton played a key role in elevating the company’s gross written premium to an impressive £100 million. Following this accomplishment, Walton transitioned to consulting, contributing his expertise to various high-profile projects for esteemed clients in the industry.
Reflecting on his journey, Walton shared, “After some highly enjoyable insurance consultancy projects for several high-profile clients, as a relatively young man, I still had a burning desire inside to set up and run another insurance brokerage. Using some highly respected industry professionals as a sounding board, Peter Cullum and Dave Clapp as two examples, I was encouraged to return to what I love doing best. The Broker Investment Group has provided financial support in the brokerage, of which I am very grateful for their backing.” The launch of Insurance Connections marks a significant development in the ever-evolving landscape of commercial insurance brokerage.
