American full-service insurance brokerage World Insurance Associates (WIA) has snapped up Flanagan Associates for an undisclosed sum.

The deal, which took place earlier this month, further bolsters WIA’s evolving footprint in the US.

The acquired company brings over three decades of experience in the personal, commercial, and life insurance space.

WIA CEO and co-founder Rich Eknoian said: “We are pleased to welcome Flanagan Associates to the World team.

“Like World, Flanagan Associates always puts their clients’ needs first and works hard to find the best coverage available for each specific situation. We love joining forces with other insurance agencies who share the same values as we at World do.”

Flanagan Associates president Charles Flanagan said: “At Flanagan, we pride ourselves on finding an insurance plan that fits our clients’ needs by leveraging our variety of services. Partnering with World will allow us to offer a broader suite of services that we can use to help build even better and more personalised insurance plans.”
