Hub New England Acquires CT’s Ion Insurance Corporation

May 11, 2021 by AC Editor

On the heels of its April 21st acquisition of Massachusetts’ IBG Financial Partners, Hub New England has acquired another New England agency, the Ion Insurance Corporation of Connecticut.

Headquartered in Cheshire, Connecticut, Ion Insurance is a full service, independent insurance agency providing personal and business insurance solutions throughout the region. According to the terms of the transaction, David Drescher, Managing Director of Southern New England, as well as the rest of his Ion Insurance team will join Hub New England with the goal of leading Hub’s strategy in Connecticut. No further terms of the transaction were disclosed.

“We are excited to have David and his talented team join our group to strengthen our commitment and approach to Southern New England,” said Shawn McLaughlin, President of Hub New England. “With Ion Insurance, we will provide clients with the best of both worlds – the benefits of local services with deep resources and the strength of a national firm.”

David Rotatori, President & CEO of Ion Bank, stated that the sale will provide additional capital for the financial institution, allowing the Bank to reinvest into the communities that Ion serves and to continue with their expansion into other towns and cities in Connecticut. “Ion Bank is committed to serving our customers, communities and employees, and this transaction allows us more flexibility, benefiting all of these groups,” said Rotatori.

Ion Bank is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale to its Foundation

Ion Bank also noted that a portion of the proceeds from the sale have been donated to the Ion Bank Foundation. Established in 1998, the Foundation has grown from an initial $2 million contribution by the Bank to more than $12.5 million in assets, through earnings and additional contributions. Since its inception in 1998, cumulative grants for purposes ranging from improving social services to enhancing the arts have exceeded $9 million.

Customers of Ion Insurance will see no change in their accounts as a result of the sale according to Drescher. “Ion Insurance customers will still be serviced by the same team they have come to know and trust. There will be no disruption to our customers, and they will benefit from the expertise and enjoy a wider array of products that Hub offers,” said Drescher.


Hub New England continues to grow its geographic footprint throughout New England

With the addition of Ion Insurance Corporation, Hub continues to grow its presence throughout New England. As one of the largest insurance brokers in the region, this latest addition marks the brokerage firm’s fourth agency acquisition in New England so far in 2021.
