Aston Lark Ireland acquires one of Ireland’s oldest insurance brokerages

Aston Lark Ireland has continued its expansion plans with the acquisition of A.R. Brassington & Co. Limited, a subsidiary of the ARB Group.

Established in 1929 and based in Dublin, Brassington Insurance was founded by Arthur Rochelle Brassington and is now led by the management team of Cathal O’Brien and Paul Carty.

The firm has established itself as a leading provider of travel insurance through its innovative online travel trading platform, and also offers a range of insurance services to businesses.

Robert Kennedy (pictured), Aston Lark Ireland CEO, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Brassington Insurance to the Aston Lark family and I’m very much looking forward to working with Paul and the team.

“Brassington Insurance perfectly encapsulates what we look for in an acquisition. It is a business that is deeply rooted in the market, with decades of rich tradition and history, and it shares the same values and passion for their people and customers.”

O’Brien, ARB Group Managing Director, added: “After 33 years with Brassington Insurance, I am stepping away with pride in what we have achieved.

“I am grateful to all our team, past and present, who have been instrumental in growing

Brassington to what it is today. I am confident that Aston Lark and the Brassington team will continue to grow and develop the business.”
