Superian Insurance Group has acquired the renewal rights for O3 Specialty, a UK-focused IFA specialty intermediary, marking its first acquisition of 2026.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Under the agreement, Servca, a wholly owned subsidiary of Superian and a Lloyd's broker, will take responsibility for servicing and renewing O3 Specialty's existing book of business. The portfolio will transition under the Servca Specialty brand, ensuring continuity of cover for clients and advisers.
The deal signals ongoing consolidation in the UK specialty insurance distribution sector. By bringing O3 Specialty's book under Servca, Superian enhances its footprint in the non-standard and complex risk segment, giving it greater leverage with insurers and improving service delivery to adviser partners.
The move also reflects the growing importance of renewal-focused acquisitions as a strategy for specialty intermediaries to maintain client retention and secure long-term revenue streams in a competitive market.
Commenting on the acquisition, Noah Jamal, founder and CEO of Superian, said the acquisition aligns with the group's UK strategy to invest in high-quality specialty distribution and to deepen support for non-standard, complex risk solutions. He also noted that O3 Specialty has established a strong market reputation and welcomed the renewal portfolio to Superian's operations.
Daniel Stannard, client portfolio lead at O3 Specialty, said Servca is well positioned to deliver an effective renewal experience for adviser partners and their clients. He added that the transition supports continuity while creating additional capability through integration into an international specialty intermediary group.
The transition will take place in phases over the coming months.
