UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / May 27, 2025 / GOAT Insurance, a UK-based provider of tailored commercial insurance solutions, has secured its first strategic acquisition with the purchase of the full Book of Business from IGG Insurance. The move marks a significant milestone for the ambitious brand and signals the start of a bold growth trajectory in the UK insurance sector.

As part of the acquisition, GOAT Insurance is immediately investing in new next-generation systems, including bespoke market-leading technology. Plans are also in place to collaborate with a top UK university on the development of AI-driven tools to enhance client experience, ensuring businesses of all sizes, from startups to scaling trades, receive smarter, faster and more intuitive cover.

IGG Insurance, the trading name of Rockland Risk Services, was founded by respected broker Naeem Chhabu, and has grown rapidly through a strong client-focused ethos. With Chhabu stepping back to spend more time with family, a seamless opportunity emerged for GOAT Insurance to build upon a highly successful foundation.

IGG Insurance Managing Director Adam Watts and his team bring a wealth of experience and a proven track record of client service. Now part of the GOAT family, the combined teams will work to deliver enhanced support for businesses navigating the increasingly complex insurance landscape.

Phil Hayes, Co-Owner and Director of GOAT Insurance, says, “Along with my fellow investors, we’ve waited patiently to find the perfect fit to enhance our business model. Adam and his team bring experience and energy perfectly aligned to our future plans for growth and innovation.”

“We’d like to thank Naeem for the tremendous job he’s done building IGG Insurance into a respected and successful business. His vision and hard work laid a strong foundation, and we’re honoured to carry it forward.”

The acquisition is just the beginning for GOAT Insurance. As the trading name of Sentreos Ltd, the company is actively pursuing a pipeline of strategic acquisitions to expand its footprint across the UK. Co-owned by prominent industry leader Phil Hayes - former co-founder of BGL Group, the business behind Compare the Market and Minster Law - GOAT Insurance is set to bring a fresh, tech-enabled approach to the commercial insurance sector.
