Jensten celebrates double deal completion

Jensten has completed the acquisition of Melville Burbage and Henry Seymour & Co following final regulatory approval.

These deals will introduce an additional 37 specialist professionals and three offices, contributing over £20 million GWP to the business.

Melville Burbage, renowned locally for its delivery of high-quality commercial broking solutions, is a trusted partner for over 5,000 businesses and individuals. The company serves diverse sectors, including construction, non-profit, and professional services. With expertise in the engineering and printing sectors — both new areas of specialism for Jensten — this acquisition enhances Jensten’s local presence and capability to serve clients across the Home Counties.

Henry Seymour & Co, operating under its long-established Salon Gold brand, caters to the unique needs of salons, clinics, gyms, spas, and mobile or freelance therapists. It holds the mantle as the market leader in insurance within the hair and beauty industry. The business also enjoys a strong reputation in the trade and construction sector through its Tradesman Saver brand.

The completion of these two significant acquisitions marks a major milestone in Jensten’s ongoing strategic regional expansion across the UK.

Alistair Hardie, CEO of Jensten, commented: “Our ongoing efforts to expand our presence throughout the UK have brought us significant success. The recent acquisition of Melville Burbage demonstrates our firm commitment to strategically broadening our expertise and capabilities, with a focus on establishing regional centres of excellence. The integration of Henry Seymour & Co signifies a significant leap forward in the growth of our schemes and affinities business, enhancing our capacity to offer market-leading specialist support to a diverse range of clients with very niche requirements.

“We are pleased to formally welcome Melville Burbage and Henry Seymour & Co to the Jensten family.”
