HUB intends to expand its reach through both acquisitions as well as organic growth.

In June this year, the company took over the assets of The Clements Agency and its wholly-owned subsidiary Flagstaff Insurance for an undisclosed sum.

This followed HUB’s previous strategic acquisitions of Canada-based JM Rose Insurance Agency and Vestas Financial Services.

Recently, the company signed a premier preferred partnership with InsuraGuest Technologies subsidiary InsuraGuest to offer InsuraGuest’s Hospitality Liability coverage to its hotel clients in the US.

The companies plan to expand the partnership to include HUB’s clients in Canada by the middle of next year.
