AbbeyAutoline has acquired Lisnaskea-based Martin Carey Insurance’s customer book of business as part of a growth strategy aimed at strengthening its position as the north’s largest insurance broker.

Since its launch in 2020, following the integration of Abbey Insurance and Autoline, AbbeyAutoline also acquired family-owned BMG Insurance in 2022.

Martin Carey Insurance is a family-owned brokerage established in 1984 and highly respected for its expertise in home, motor, business, and farm vehicle insurance.

Julie Gibbons, managing director of AbbeyAutoline, which is part of the Prestige Insurance Holdings Group, said: “The acquisition of Martin Carey Insurance’s business is a key addition to our ongoing expansion strategy as we continually look to the future and expand our offerings.

“Their outstanding reputation as a trusted insurance provider in Fermanagh and the surrounding areas makes them an ideal fit for our business.

“The acquisition helps us expand our customer base and broaden our commercial insurance portfolio by offering more comprehensive and tailored solutions to our customers.”

Martin Carey, founder and managing director of Martin Carey Insurance, added: “This move is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our highly respected staff in providing exceptional insurance services across the region.”

“I want to assure our existing customers that their existing insurance policies and payment arrangements will remain unaffected throughout this process. The mortgage, life insurance and estate agency & valuation sections of the business will also continue to operate from our Lisnaskea Office at 87 Main Street.”
