Insurance broker Aston Lark has announced Phoenix Healthcare (UK) as the latest addition to the group
Phoenix Healthcare was established in 1996 in Oadby, Leicestershire, and is an independent UK broker and adviser specialising in all aspects of corporate healthcare provision.
Peter Blanc, Aston Lark Group CEO, said: “When I first met Paul and Lee, it was clear that they share the same client service ethos as Aston Lark. We’re becoming a real powerhouse in Private Medical Insurance, and I’m delighted to welcome Paul, Lee and their team to the Aston Lark family.”
Paul Wright, founding Director of Phoenix Healthcare, added: “Both Lee Shorter and I have over 35 years’ experience in the industry, and are delighted to choose Aston Lark as the long-term partner for our business. We firmly believe that they will be a great home for our staff and share our client-first approach to corporate healthcare broking.”
Meanwhile, the market for private healthcare services in the UK is forecast to reach US$13.8bn by 2025 due to a rise in NHS waiting times and referrals to the private sector.
