The transaction was closed last week in Paris.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Refocusing on core mission\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">BlackFin\u2019s ambition is to strengthen SPB&#8217;s position on the European market through a refocusing on its historical insurance brokerage and claim management activities. Save, a former subsidiary specialized in repairing, refurbishing and recycling electronic devices, was separated from SPB and will remain owned by the Guian Family, founders of SPB.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>\u2026combined with an ambition for growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Leveraging its track record in the insurance brokerage market, BlackFin will provide the tools to enhance SPB\u2019s revenues, through organic and external growth, while improving operational performance. BlackFin will also immediately begin to implement a digital transformation by investing into an enhanced user experience which will include improved reporting tools for insurers, as well as self-service contract and claims management for policyholders.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u2018<em>The investment of BlackFin is a great opportunity and will allow us to continue writing the company&#8217;s story. The combination of BlackFin\u2019s experience in insurance brokerage and SPB\u2019s know-how in affinity insurance represents the key to success. I am convinced that our employees, clients and partners will quickly recognize the value of this transaction<\/em><em>.<\/em>\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>Jean-Marie Guian &#8211; CEO of SPB group<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em> \u2018We are enthusiastic about this acquisition, as SPB combines a pan-European presence with world class clients.
