Jensten completes trio of acquisitions, enters Scottish market for first time

Mergers & Acquisitions

Jensten Group has completed three acquisitions, adding Broker One, Coversure Dudley and Mediprotect Healthcare to its portfolio.

The deals follow the group's recent announcement regarding Northern Counties, which remains subject to FCA approval. Following the latest acquisitions, Jensten now operates across more than 50 offices with over 1,000 employees.

Broker One Limited is a commercial broker based in Larbert, Scotland. The acquisition marks Jensten's entry into the Scottish market, adding a team of eight professionals and a Glasgow office. The firm serves SMEs, sole traders and private clients, with a team holding more than 200 years of combined experience in the insurance sector.

Coversure Dudley has operated in its local area for 22 years, primarily supporting commercial clients with a focus on fleet and truck insurance. The business has been run by Wayne Saunders and Dale Cole, who will continue in their roles following completion.

Mediprotect Healthcare, led by owner Jon Legge, specialises in private medical insurance. The firm will be integrated into Jensten's Employee Benefits division, with Legge working alongside the existing team to pursue growth in the health and protection market.

Both Coversure Dudley and Mediprotect Healthcare will rebrand to Jensten Insurance Brokers upon completion.

Rob Organ (pictured above), group CEO at Jensten, said: "These acquisitions represent another exciting step forward for Jensten." He added that Broker One strengthens the group's presence in Scotland, while Coversure Dudley and Mediprotect Healthcare bring expertise in their respective markets.

The acquisitions come shortly after Jensten completed its strategic investment deal with Bain Capital in December following regulatory approval.

The investment sees Bain Capital join Jensten's management team on the shareholder register, with the existing leadership remaining in place. The new capital is intended to support continued growth, technology investment, product development and regional expansion.

With around 1,000 employees, Jensten was the largest UK insurance distribution business by headcount to change hands in 2025. Bain's investment was the fourth £100 million-plus UK transaction of 2025 involving private equity.
