Vanbreda Risk & Benefits expands in East and West Flanders
In the first half of 2025, Vanbreda Risk & Benefits carried out multiple acquisitions, with growth mainly concentrated in East and West Flanders. As part of this acquisition strategy, Vanbreda has targeted strong commercial brokers with an established presence in their region.
The Vanbreda group now has more than 20 entities in Flanders and Brussels, and Vanbreda Cornelis and Vanbreda Soenen, acquired in 2018 and 2022 respectively, are responsible for the first acquisition successes of 2025:
- East Flanders-based Vanbreda Cornelis, with Didier Lapin and Philip Rokegem at the helm, is taking over the portfolio of Cornelis & Partners from 1 June 2025.
- Vanbreda Soenen in West Flanders has acquired Madesco Rumbeke. Kenneth Rommens and Luc Vanoverberghe, Vanbreda Soenen’s managing directors, already have offices in Roeselare and Poperinge.
- Vanbreda Soenen has merged Kortemark-based Vanbreda Missinne, which has been part of the group since 2017, with Vanbreda Soenen in June 2025.
Vanbreda continues on the look-out for promising opportunities to increase our presence in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg and give our services an added boost.
