Aston Lark’s mission to conquer Ireland continues with fourth acquisition of 2021

Aston Lark Ireland has acquired McMahon Galvin, the Dublin-based home and car insurance provider, as it seeks to build itself into “the most trusted insurance broker in Ireland.”

McMahon Galvin, which also offers a full range of insurance services to businesses, was founded in 1970 and is led by the management team of Peter Hanlon and John Galvin.

It was Aston Lark Ireland’s fourth acquisition in 2021, following deals with North County Brokers, O’Loughlin Insurance Group and Brady Burns & Associates.

Robert Kennedy, chief executive officer (CEO) at Aston Lark Ireland, said the company had been impressed with McMahon Galvin’s client-centric approach. “With a loyal customer base and strong relationships with a broad range of insurers, it didn't take us long to recognise the strength and brand presence that they have built over many decades, making them an excellent addition,” he said.

Peter Hanlon, director of McMahon Galvin, said: "Our fantastic team, both past and present, loyal customers and our panel of insurer partners have played an important part in the progress and success of the business. We now have an exciting future together as part of Aston Lark, who will support us in the coming years to further enhance our offering to clients and assist in developing our team."
