Partners& acquires Switch Health

Based in Cheltenham, Switch Health was launched in 2013 to help individuals make the right decisions when it comes to their private medical insurance.

Since then, they’ve grown to become a 15 strong team with a reputation for delivering outstanding service, and professional and trusted advice for what can be a complex decision.

Wycombe's Partners& hopes through the acquisition to take advantage of anticipated significant growth in the individual private medical insurance market.

Phil Barton, Group CEO of Partners&, said: “We recognise that increasingly clients are looking for the right advice in terms of their health care options, and we are positioning ourselves to be the adviser they feel confident to turn to.

“Healthcare is at the front of people’s minds today, and the expertise and track record for exceptional service provided by Jack and the team at Switch Health is directly in line with our commitment to providing an outstanding client experience.

“I’m thrilled with this exciting and very timely addition to our client proposition.”

Jack Chander, CEO of Switch Health, added: “Our decision to join forces with Partners& stems from their unwavering commitment to customer service excellence – a value that is of utmost importance to Switch Health.

“We believe that with their support and resources, Switch Health will be able to continue our growth journey.

“We look forward to enhancing our services, expanding our reach, and continuing to provide unparalleled service to clients.”

Partners& was advised by Michelmores, which has also assisted on three of the firm’s other deals this year.

The Michelmores team was led by partner Adam Kean, alongside associate Ben Adams, solicitors Harry Jones and Gruff Cartwright, and paralegal Philippa Kean.

Adam added: “Partners&’s acquisitions pave the way for the next stage in their journey.

“We were truly excited to help progress them with their strategic focus of moving to further ventures across their UK market.

“We thoroughly enjoy working with Phil and his team and always hope to provide sage counsel and excellent service – both of which have enabled Partners& to successfully complete these strategic insurance sector deals.”
