RK Harrison Group (RKH) is set to buy Mercury West Associates (MWA)

This is one we missed earlier in the month - announced on 1 November 2011.

Independent (re)insurance broker RK Harrison Group (RKH) is set to buy Mercury West Associates (MWA), the specialist broker for high net worth (HNW) clients.

MWA said it has accepted an offer to be acquired that is subject to regulatory approval.

Personal opinion - MWA managing director Katie Small will need to keep her eye firmly on the ball as RKH are hard taskmasters!
