Stubben Edge Group is delighted to announce our acquisition of award-winning integrated marketing agency and risk consultancy, Jaywing. This strategic move is set to significantly enhance our capabilities across the financial services sector and our expanding distribution platform. It also creates exciting new avenues for innovation and accelerated growth for both our and Jaywing UK's clients.
For us, this acquisition is a powerful step forward in our core mission. Since we were established in 2018, we've consistently aimed to drive change within financial services, especially in the insurance industry, by creating innovative technology and products. Our ambition has always been to use data and technology to help the industry expand robustly. Our growth so far has been strengthened by a series of targeted acquisitions, including Akoni Hub, Genesis Special Risks, and Insurercore, with each one playing a key part in building out our comprehensive, tech-driven distribution platform for the financial services industry.
Jaywing UK's deep-rooted, proven expertise in data science, advanced analytics, and Artificial Intelligence proved to be highly complementary drivers for our strategic objectives, directly influencing our decision to acquire the business. Chris Kenning, our CEO, shared his excitement about the acquisition:
“We are thrilled to welcome Jaywing UK into the Stubben Edge family. What Jaywing brings, with their renowned expertise in data-driven integrated marketing and their impressive deep-rooted AI capabilities, perfectly complements our own strengths. This means we can offer even more powerful, cohesive solutions to our clients. Jaywing’s clients will, in turn, benefit from the broader range of integrated services that we can now provide together.'"
Jaywing UK, with its 25-year heritage in data science and its cutting-edge award-winning Accelerator Lab, aims to significantly boost Stubben Edge’s capabilities through this acquisition, particularly within the financial services sector.

Our focus at Jaywing remains on client success and utilising these newly combined capabilities to drive even better performance.”
Ben O’Brien, Managing Director of Jaywing Risk Consulting added: “This acquisition is a significant step because it allows us to take our specialist risk analytics and fraud prevention know-how and integrate it with a truly innovative FinTech platform. What this really means for our clients is access to even more robust, seamlessly integrated, and data-driven solutions to protect their businesses and make smarter, faster decisions. It’s about amplifying our ability to deliver that tangible value they expect from us, now with even greater technological firepower. We’re excited about the future and the enhanced capabilities this partnership will bring to our clients in the financial services sector."
