Information
Consolidation is shaping the broker market faster than ever, but it’s not the only route forward. This keynote opens the day with a direct look at the decisions facing owners and leaders: scale up, sell out, stay independent, or build something in between. It explores how control, culture, and client experience shift in each model, and what brokers give up or gain when they make the call. The session is designed to give attendees a clear, strategic lens on where the market’s heading and what kind of business they want to build in it.
- What forces are accelerating consolidation across the UK market?
- How are brokers weighing growth, exit, or independence?
- What happens to culture, clients, and control post-sale?
- Where is consolidation creating new client pain points or gaps in service?
- What questions should broker boards be asking right now?
