Founded in 1974, GR Marshall operates primarily in the property, motor trade and personal insurance market.
Nick Houghton, group CEO at JMG Group, said: “What makes GR Marshall special is its approach to client handling and this is reflected in the longevity and loyalty of its client base. The Group will help GR Marshall with some of the heavy lifting elements involved in the day-to-day running, yet allow Robert and his team the autonomy to steer the business as they best know how.”
