SRG expands London Market capability with acquisition of new Wholesale team from Lockton
London, UK – 14 October 2025 - Specialist Risk Group (SRG) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a new Wholesale team, led by Shelley Wright, from Lockton. This move further strengthens SRG’s London Market capability and expands its specialist proposition across Miles Smith, CBC Partnership, and The Underwriting Exchange (TUE).
The team will work closely with UK retail brokers to deliver solutions across Property, Casualty, and Financial Lines. Their arrival is highly complementary to the existing capabilities within Miles Smith, with the two teams set to join forces as one integrated unit.
This move further demonstrates SRG’s ongoing commitment to the London Market and to developing specialist capability across the insurance value chain. With deep experience and a reputation for delivering technically led placement strategies, the team is well positioned to enhance SRG’s value to brokers navigating complex and hard-to-place risks.
Lee Anderson, Group Deputy CEO at Specialist Risk Group, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Shelley and her team to SRG. Their deep broker relationships and multi-line specialism represent everything we are building in our Wholesale division. This is another step in our ambition to create the leading independent wholesale platform for UK brokers.”
Shelley Wright, said:
“We’re looking forward to joining SRG at such an exciting time in its journey. From the outset, it was clear that this is a business that understands and values specialism. Bringing our team together with Miles Smith under one roof creates a powerful proposition for UK brokers looking for smart, responsive London Market access across Property, Casualty, and Financial Lines.”
Clarissa Franks, Head of Retail at Lockton, added:
“We are continually reviewing our strategy and portfolio to drive client innovation and growth. SRG is a strong and well-respected business that makes the perfect new home for this team and the clients they serve.”
