The Quinn Partnership, Management Due Diligence specialists, has advised Palatine Private Equity on their investment in Chase Templeton. The UK’s leading independent Private Medical and Protection Insurance (PMI) broker has secured 10 acquisitions over the past few years. The move secures the firm’s strategy to undertake further acquisitions of PMI and employee benefit specialist services. Turnover is expected to reach circa £12million by the end of 2013.

Kevin Amphlett, Chairman of Chase Templeton Group, said: “After considering various offers, we chose the team at Palatine because of their enthusiastic approach and deep understanding of our buy-and-build strategy. It became clear that attracting professional investment was the most efficient way of fuelling our ambitious growth plans.”

Ed Fazakerley, Partner at Palatine Private Equity, said: “Kevin and the Chase management team have grown the business to become a leading player in a very competitive environment. The investment will allow the business to continue with its buy-and-build strategy and will further strengthen its position in the market. We are excited about working with such an ambitious team and a great business.”

Mike Stiles, Director at The Quinn Partnership, comments “We wish Kevin and his experienced team every success in what should be an ambitious and successful partnership with Palatine Private Equity.”
