In March 2023 Castleacre Insurance Services Ltd acquired private client insurance brokers Merritt Insurance Services. We are pleased to say that former Director of Merritt, Jonathan Merritt, is working alongside the Castleacre team over the next two years and he can be contacted through our head office.
In addition to property, fine art and specialist car insurance Castleacre offers additional benefits including bespoke Life and Private health insurance and Trustee and Executor insurance amongst other specialist services.
We are delighted that Jonathan Merritt, former Director of Merritt Insurance Services, continues to work closely with the Castleacre team throughout a two-year transition period. Jonathan remains available to clients and can be contacted through our head office, ensuring continuity, familiarity and the reassurance that valued relationships remain at the heart of our work.
The joining of Merritt Insurance Services and Castleacre has strengthened our ability to offer an even wider range of specialist insurance solutions tailored to the needs of private clients, families, trustees and owners of high-value or unique assets. Our combined teams bring together decades of experience in risk management for heritage properties, fine art, collections, specialist vehicles and high-value homes, while also providing access to an expanded suite of private client-focused financial and insurance services.
While Merritt Insurance Services has been known for property, fine art and specialist car insurance, joining Castleacre allows clients to benefit from additional areas of expertise, including:
Bespoke Life Insurance Solutions
Tailored life insurance advice designed to support estate planning, wealth protection and long-term financial security.

The merger strengthens our offering with:
