Phoenix Healthcare was established in 1996 in Oadby, Leicestershire and is a leading 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, said: “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.”
Lee Shorter, founding director of Phoenix Healthcare, added: “Becoming part of Aston Lark and having access to their resources and products will provide great opportunity for further helping our clients.”
