The acquired businesses are collectively referred to as The Protectors Group (TPG).

TPG, which was established in 1982 as a retail insurance broker, offers construction, hospitality and transport coverage for commercial and corporate clients in Greater Western Sydney.

As per terms of the agreement, David Michell, Vince Gioiello and their associates will continue to operate from their existing location under the leadership of Sean Gallagher, who is head of branches for Gallagher Australia.

Arthur J. Gallagher & Co chairman, president and CEO J.

We are very pleased to welcome David, Vince and their team to Gallagher.”
