Hilb Group Grows New England Property and Casualty Presence

The Hilb Group announced today that it has acquired a Connecticut-based book of commercial and personal lines property and casualty (P&C) business in its New England region of operations. The new business will be serviced through Connecticut-based Gerardi Insurance, and producer Fred Touchette will join the company. The transaction became effective April 1, 2023.

THG continues to grow its presence throughout New England

The following is a list of the Massachusetts-based agencies that the Hilb Group has acquired since 2015. 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, those additional acquisitions by THG in New England, prior to 2021, are not reflected below.
