Markel UK will acquire U.K.-based insurance broker Caunce O'Hara's online freelancer and contractor insurance business, subject to regulatory approval.
The team that will join Markel will still use the Caunce O'Hara brand and work from the current Manchester office. Chris Caunce will support the integration and growth of the online business over the next two years. Caunce O'Hara will retain all broking services.
Weightmans served as an adviser to Caunce O'Hara on the deal.
Markel UK is a division of Markel International, part of Markel Corp. It offers insurance, tax and legal services for small and medium-sized enterprises.
