A SMALL insurance firm has been swallowed up by a national broker.
Tonyrefail-based DS Howell, which has 17 staff, was bought by Giles Insurance Brokers. Owners Keith Buckley and Peter Hicks took control in a management buy-out in 2002. Mr Buckley said: “This deal will see our clients benefit from being serviced by a growing, like-minded, customer-focused UK broker.”
