Continuing its expansion throughout New England, The Hilb Group announced that it has acquired the book of personal lines business from Rhode Island-based D.F. Dwyer & Associates, LLC. Based in Newport, Rhode Island, D.F. Dwyer provides a full range of Property & Casualty insurance products and services to businesses and individuals.

THG continues to grow its presence throughout New England

The following is a list of the Massachusetts-based agencies that the Hilb Group has announced since 2009. Since Agency Checklists only began reporting on M&As and this agency in particular in 2016, the 2015 transaction does not have a link. In addition, prior to this year we did not cover agency acquisitions outside Massachusetts, as such, additional acquisitions by THG in New England are not reflected below.
