Konsileo, a UK chartered insurance broker built around an empowered broker model, has closed a £5m equity raise intended to drive the next stage of its expansion.
The financing was spearheaded by existing backer Committed Capital, which has supported the company over the long term, with ACF Investors also taking part.
Since its founding in 2017, Konsileo has grown to a workforce of over 220 and now places in excess of £85m of insurance premiums each year on behalf of UK businesses. Its core pledge is to make its brokers the most rewarded, most professional and happiest in the sector.
To deliver on that pledge, the firm has organised itself so risk professionals can concentrate on clients. It has no traditional management layers, using coaching in place of bosses, and its pay model rewards the value brokers generate through client relationships. It also puts significant resources into staff development via the Konsileo Academy.
On the technology side, Konsileo has created a proprietary broking platform that takes care of routine admin, builds compliance checks into the workflow and supports brokers in gathering higher-quality risk data.
The company’s workplace credentials were highlighted in May 2026, when it took the top spot for medium-sized financial services organisations in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026.
Konsileo is led by co-founder and CEO John Warburton, who brings more than two decades of international insurance and consulting experience from Aviva, Accenture and Allianz, where he oversaw global marketing strategy and digital initiatives.
Konsileo CEO John Warburton said, “We’ve always believed that great brokers do their best work when you give them autonomy, equip them properly and support them rather than manage them. Our growth is a testament to what happens when you offer something genuinely different to ambitious brokers who want to build brilliant client relationships.”
Committed Capital CEO Steven Harris said, “We are delighted to have completed this round and to deepen our long-standing commitment to Konsileo. John, Peter and the team have built one of the fastest-growing independent brokers in the UK, and they have done it organically, broker by broker, rather than through acquisition.
“That growth rests on two things that are very hard to replicate: a proprietary broking platform that strips out administration, embeds compliance and is now putting AI to work for brokers, and a culture that consistently attracts the most talented people in the industry. Konsileo is showing what a modern commercial broker looks like, and we look forward to supporting the team through its next phase of growth.”
