Global Risk Partners (GRP)

Since launch in 2013 Global Risk Partners has grown to employ 2000 staff who control or influence over £1.8bn premium. The group comprises a retail division of specialist and community insurance brokers operating from over 100 offices around the UK and Ireland, focused on delivering an expert, personal service to their clients alongside Lloyd’s and London market brokers Lonmar and Ropner. In July 2022, US broker Brown & Brown acquired GRP. 

GRP features in the Insurance Age Top 75 UK Brokers listing, and the Insurance Age Top 100 Insurance Brokers 2021 listing. Find out what other companies made the cut.
