We’re pleased to announce that, as of May 2024, FinCred was acquired by London and East Sussex based Chartered Insurance Broker, Sutton Winson.

Hannah Lyon-Wall BA(Hons) ACII will continue as Managing Director and our existing team will operate under the existing FinCred brand, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sutton Winson, an Acrisure company.

We have known and worked with Sutton Winson for many years, with us both being long-standing members of the UNIBA Partners network and sharing the same client centric ethos. We’re excited that in addition to trade credit insurance and surety bonds, we’ll now have the capability to provide our clients with lots of new services and areas of expertise going forwards.

Hannah Lyon-Wall said: “My family and I have known Sutton Winson for years, and when we decided the time was right to sell and become part of a larger organisation, there was only one business we even considered partnering with. We are incredibly specialist in our field and know that Acrisure’s global presence will have a massively beneficial impact on our future growth trajectory.”

Gareth Roberts, Managing Director, Sutton Winson, said: “We are thrilled with the acquisition of FinCred and GBS, and this is the beginning of something special we are building with Acrisure in the south. Acrisure will continue to support us in acquiring businesses with whom we can culturally align.”

Mark McIlquham, president, Acrisure UK Retail, said: “We are excited to continue our expansion in southern England, led by the world-class Sutton Winson team. Hannah is a proven leader with a phenomenal track record and a huge future in the industry. We are genuinely delighted to welcome her and the rest of the team onboard.”
