Continuum Insurance Brokers is linking up with the Broker Network.

The Hertford-based firm, which was formed following a management buy-out from Martin Hale and Co in 2005, is a commercially-biased broker with a local focus.

Bernard Murphy, managing director of Continuum, told the Post magazine that he had considered several options and plumped for the Broker Network as he thought it could provide "invaluable support" across its range of business services, particularly in IT.

Managing director of Broker Network, also talking to the Post, said that it was "delighted" to welcome such a "high quality" member to its ranks.

"As this new year begins, it's very much 'business as usual' at Broker Network as we look to keep delivering the best insurer deals and business support services to all of our members," he added.

Broker Network has over 165 members and it claims on its website that by joining affiliates can become "instantly bigger, more powerful and more able to compete".
