PBC’s programme division will continue operating as an independent subsidiary of HUB and serve residential co-ops, condominiums, and rental buildings, along with the pest control industry.

SPG president & CEO Chris Treanor said: “The SWIS team has built one of the nation’s premier wholesale businesses and has strong reputation for expertise and service in the industry. We are fortunate to have such top-level talent join SPG and we see tremendous growth opportunity within the SWIS speciality areas.”

SWIS President Cynthia O’Brien said: “The transition to SPG from HUB will enable us to accelerate our growth strategy and expand our footprint across the country. This move within HUB also enables us to provide a seamless experience for our clients and ensures the continuation of a high level of service and support from a team they know and trust.”

In January this year, SPG purchased assets of Brokers’ Service Marketing Group II (BSMG) for an undisclosed sum.
