In July 2020, Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions was formed by merging specialist insurance brokers Miles Smith Insurance Solutions and Square Mile Broking to become the Specialty Clients pillar of our parent company Specialist Risk Group (SRG).
Since then, SRG welcomed several specialist people and businesses to the Specialty Clients pillar. In 2021, The Channel Partnership was acquired by SRG and undertook a business transfer and rebrand to Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions in 2025.
In 2021 and 2022 respectively, SRG acquired Emrose Insurance Brokers and Hamilton Leigh, both of which undertook a business transfer to Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions in March 2026.
In March 2026, Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions, Hamilton Leigh and Emrose rebranded to SRG, bringing our name and brand in line with our parent company, SRG.
Specialist Risk Group (SRG) is a group of specialist insurance intermediaries supporting businesses and individuals with complex insurance requirements across the UK, Europe and Asia Pacific. With more than 1,600 colleagues in over 30 offices worldwide, we draw on extensive expertise, strong insurer relationships and deep market insight to deliver the right solutions for you.
Placing over £2 billion Gross Written Premium into global markets each year, SRG combines international reach with a local presence. Our multi-award-winning claims team works closely with clients to manage and enhance the claims experience, and the Group’s growth is supported by a diverse investor portfolio.
Looking ahead, our priorities are clear. We continue to invest in our people and culture, deepen our specialist expertise, and grow consistently, regardless of market or economic conditions.
For our UK clients, this means stability, continuity, and confidence. We focus on disciplined growth and the careful acquisition and integration of like-minded businesses, strengthening our capabilities while preserving the quality of service and trusted relationships you rely on.
As SRG grows, our focus remains the same: providing specialist support you can rely on, now and in years to come.
Our parent company, Specialist Risk Group, is one of the fastest-growing groups of insurance intermediaries in the UK. The Group is split into four pillars, providing a bespoke service to our unique markets and clients. Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions is the Specialty Clients division and the others are: Miles Smith & TUE – UK and Ireland Speciality Broking, Specialist Risk International – International Specialty Broking and MX – Specialty Underwriting.
Being part of the Group allows us to access specialist products and the Lloyd’s of London market through the other business units. This means we can provide our clients with a truly unique service and offer a range of exclusive benefits.
At Specialist Risk Group, we are governed by our mantra “Difficult. Done Well.”. We specialise in crafting solutions for specialist insurance needs that other companies actively avoid and solve problems for clients that other brokers cannot solve.

"We have dedicated loss adjusters and risk engineers/surveyors who are available to us 24/7 and, in case of Employers' Liability claims, there is an early dialogue to agree the best course of action in respect of defensibility or, in some cases, an agreement to the Liability claim."
Belfield Group
Group Finance Director"When large/complex claims occur, Specialist Risk Group (SRG) are right alongside us. This was typified when a significant fire affected one of our sites several years ago. The business interruption claim alone totalled several million pounds but SRG settled the claim within a 2-month period, meaning the impact on our business was minimised and flexibility retained."
Belfield Group
Group Finance Director“We were with the same insurer that we were before, but the service is better because of the broker. In addition, when we appointed Specialist Risk Group we were already in a long-term agreement with the insurer, but they were able to renegotiate the agreement and provided us with considerable cost savings.”

Warburg Pincus & Temasek
In 2024, Warburg Pincus, a global growth investor, and Temasek, a global investment company headquartered in Singapore, acquired the majority shares in Specialist Risk Group.
The partnership with Warburg Pincus and Temasek underscores the strength of SRG’s business model and the confidence of these leading global investors in SRG’s vision and potential.
The additional firepower from this investment will enable SRG to accelerate its growth, expand its specialist capabilities, and continue to deliver exceptional value to its clients across complex risk sectors. This marks a significant moment in Chapter 2 of the SRG story which will be marked by internationalising the business.
