Ayrshire, Scotland, 4 September 2007--MacKay Corporate Insurance Brokers have announced the transfer of business from Ritchie Young (Insurance Services) to MacKay Corporate Insurance Brokers effective from 1 October 2007.

This latest acquisition for MacKay Corporate Insurance Brokers comes on the back of the firm’s drive to further diversify the business within its heartland of Ayrshire.

Ritchie Young of Ritchie Young (Insurance Services) said: “After many years we have reached the stage where we have to review our position in the current market place, and it was decided to seek a partner to consolidate with. 

“This was done in order to remain competitive, and, at the same time, deliver the service that our clients are used to. It was with this in mind that we opted to transfer the business to MacKay Corporate, and I am pleased to confirm that both Marion Kerr and Yvonne Bulloch are moving to the new team. I am comfortable that the service which our clients have had up until now will continue under the new regime.

MacKay Corporate Insurance Brokers director David MacKay commented: “MacKay Corporate Insurance Brokers are delighted to have pulled off this latest acquisition, and look forward to working with Ritchie in the servicing of his clients. Ritchie Young (Insurance Services) is a well respected firm in Kilmarnock, and we are confident that the addition of Ritchie and his team to our business will further enhance the service which we offer to clients within Ayrshire.”

MacKay Corporate Insurance Brokers were established in 1989, and have grown since then to be one of the leading independent insurance brokers in Scotland from its offices in Ayr. The business is the leading sports broker in Scotland, and also has strong connections with property owners and property investors, and within the SME market.
