Carson McDowell advises Prestige Insurance on its majority investment from AUB Group

Carson McDowell has been delighted to work with the senior leadership team at Prestige Insurance over the course of many years – including Trevor Shaw, Paul Hanna, Justin Hillen, and Wendy Close who have worked tirelessly to bring this milestone to fruition.

We look forward to seeing their future plans unfold as Prestige Insurance becomes AUB’s flagship UK retail broking platform

It was also a pleasure to work with Duncan Buck and the team at Continuum Advisory Partners, exclusive financial advisers to Prestige Insurance on the transaction. Their knowledge of the global market is first-class, and, in AUB Group, they have found a partner for Prestige Insurance who recognises both how strong a proposition the group is and the enormous potential to accelerate its market reach.

The Carson McDowell team was led by Gerard Armstrong, together with team members including Paul McGuickin, Sinead McGrath, Helena Park, Megan Bell, Rachel Penny, James Milliken and Kerrie Emerson, as well as many others. The transaction further demonstrates the firm’s strong track record of insurance M&A transactions over many years.
