1 December 2019
A new chapter has begun for our company, and we're very excited to continue our journey with you, as Verlingue. We have anticipated some questions, and therefore have prepared a number of Frequently Asked Questions with our answers below.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’re excited to let you know that ICB Group officially rebranded on 1st December 2019, at which time we took the name of our European parent, Verlingue, and are now trading under the name of Verlingue Limited.
Then, effective from 1st January 2020, we will legally merge with our sister company, Finch Insurance Brokers Ltd, who are located in Manchester, to form a single UK business.
As a result of this merger we will be in an even stronger position to help our clients with their insurance and employee benefit needs, as we benefit from a greater market presence to aid our negotiations and an expanded products and services proposition.
