Birmingham’s NFP, the insurance broker and consultancy specializing in corporate benefits, retirement planning, property insurance and custom solutions, has acquired recruiting firm The Connor Consultancy.
The acquisition of Connor, based in Berkshire, marks the next phase in NFP’s strategic program to expand its services and reach in the UK and European markets.
Matt Pawley, Managing Director of NFP in Europe, said, “As a company we have searched for sizes in the UK and companies that are adding new services and capabilities to our offering and we are excited to announce our next level of growth is with Connor.
“Our existing partnership with Fraser Silvey (Managing Director of Connor) and his team has been growing for several years, so we are pleased to bring their expertise to the NFP portfolio. The way in which we take care of our employees as well as our customers is culturally well coordinated with a strong focus on people.
“Over the past 18 months, many companies have taken a more holistic approach to supporting their employees. We believe that adding an HR business to our existing insurance portfolio opens up great opportunities for us to work together and develop new and exciting solutions for our clients. “
Silvey added, “We are very excited to join NFP and will continue to build on the work and relationship we have nurtured over the past three years. From the first moment we worked together, we were surprised by the similarities in our values and our culture and got an insight into the enormous possibilities that were possible.
“Bundling our strengths was the next logical step for us and our customers. By working together we can help more people and organizations to find their way around this dynamic environment and to be successful. This is an exciting move for both Connor and NFP and we look forward to growing our relationship with our existing customers and reaching out to new customers.
“We believe our customers will appreciate our unique combination of services developed by HR and business leaders for HR and business leaders.”
