Acrisure Acquires Affinity Brokers in Scotland

Acrisure, which operates a global insurance broker, has acquired Affinity Brokers Limited, a commercial insurance broker based in Glasgow, Scotland.

The deal is expected to close in the near term, pending Financial Conduct Authority regulatory approvals.
