Heffernan Network Insurance Brokers, a subsidiary of Heffernan Insurance Brokers that provides market access and support services to local insurance agencies, has announced the acquisition of California-based Kettering Rose Insurance Services.

As part of the transaction, Kettering Rose Insurance Services founder and president Robyn Kettering and her team joined Heffernan Network.

Founded in 2004, Kettering Rose Insurance Services focuses on commercial lines and personal lines clients, with a specialty in the public auto sector. The company will operate autonomously as a subsidiary agency of Heffernan Network.

“This is an exciting announcement for us that will provide important benefits to our clients,” Kettering said. “We will continue to be run by the same experienced management team that is in place today and continue to provide the best products and level of service to our clients. Becoming a member of the Heffernan team has been an absolute pleasure.

“We believe this alliance will provide important value-added services, products and programs for our clients, while allowing us to continue providing the personal service and commitment to excellence to our clients that Kettering Rose has always embraced.”

“We are so excited to join forces with Kettering Rose, bringing Heffernan Network a solid team of insurance professionals in a new region, with big opportunities for growth,” said John Prichard Jr., president of Heffernan Network Insurance Brokers. “Robyn, Rachel and the team at Kettering have a fantastic energy and desire to leverage the resources and mentorship of the network to take the agency to the next level. We look forward to working closely to do so.”

Kettering Rose is Heffernan’s latest acquisition. In November, the company snapped up Arizona-based Osland Financial Group. In August, it acquired California-headquartered Beals Insurance Agency.
