amb Insurance Services has been announced as a finalist for the Professional Services of the Year Award at the 2026 Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards, sponsored by Plinkfizz.

In a market increasingly dominated by private-equity backed consolidators, amb Insurance Services has spent 28 years doing things differently. The Staffordshire-based Chartered brokerage has built its reputation on advice-led service, long-term relationships, and a deliberate refusal to compete on price alone. Growth has been consistent, with two strategic acquisitions in three years, including Mercer Jones & Company in 2023, broadening the client base and strengthening mid-corporate capability, with three further hires planned for 2026.

Client outcomes tell the clearest story. A construction firm review uncovered contract works underinsured by millions, undisclosed specialist activities, and a professional indemnity exclusion that could have resulted in six or seven-figure losses. amb corrected the programme, rebuilt the client’s compliance processes, and secured long-term premium stability.

Stuart Elford, Chief Executive of Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, said: “amb Insurance Services represents everything this award is looking for. Twenty-eight years of doing the right thing for clients, a Chartered standard that sets them apart, and a track record of finding and fixing problems that other brokers have missed. Their growth has been built on genuine expertise and genuine relationships, and that is exactly the kind of professional services business Staffordshire should be proud of.”

The winners will be revealed at a gala awards ceremony at Uttoxeter Racecourse on Thursday 9 July 2026, followed by The After Party, a late-night celebration for finalists, winners and partners.
