Chris Banks, chairman at Curtis Banks, said: “The first half of 2016 will always be remembered for the acquisition of Suffolk Life.
“It has been a transformational acquisition and one which presents considerable long term opportunities for the group.
“It is equally important to recognise the progress within the business aside from the Suffolk Life headlines.
“Curtis Banks has successfully integrated the previous acquisitions and is in a very strong position to continue as a specialist administrator in a changing market. We are all very optimistic about our prospects.”
