Verlingue

What Verlingue does

Verlingue is a French corporate insurance broker headquartered in Quimper, France, founded in 1933 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adelaïde Group, a French conglomerate specializing in insurance advice, broking, distribution, and services. The company provides risk management and employee protection solutions, designing tailor-made insurance programs for corporate and private clients through a relationship-based advisory model. Verlingue operates offices in five European countries — France, the UK, Switzerland, Portugal, and Italy — and extends its reach through a partner network spanning over 100 countries, enabling cross-border insurance placement for multinational clients.

The company's core offering centers on insurance brokerage and consulting, with the Insurance Brokerage and Consulting segment (Verlingue plus Angelus Courtage) generating €344 million in 2025 within the Adelaïde Group's aggregated turnover of €495 million. Verlingue pursues a dedicated, account-manager-driven go-to-market approach for both corporate and private client segments, with bespoke, quote-based pricing tied to individual client risk profiles and annual billing cadence. The firm does not disclose a proprietary technology platform; its digital footprint consists of country-specific websites and a client extranet (Easy@ccess). In 2025, Verlingue executed inorganic and organic growth initiatives including the acquisition of EBCam in the UK, expansion into Portugal, and consolidation of its Angelus Courtage stake, all under the parent group's 'Better Future 28' strategic plan targeting European brokerage leadership.
