Global brokerage Hub International Limited has announced that it has acquired the assets of Horizon Insurance, a personal insurance provider based in Worcester, Mass. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Horizon Insurance specializes in providing clients in the region with a range of personal insurance offerings, including auto, home, life, and commercial insurance. Following the acquisition, Orieta Kristo, principal and founder of Horizon, along with the Horizon Insurance team, will join Hub International New England.

“We are thrilled to have Orieta and her talented team from Horizon join the Hub family and expand our presence in Worcester and Central Massachusetts,” said Shawn McLaughlin, president and CEO of Hub New England. “It's a win for Horizon, a win for Hub, and most importantly a win for Horizon's clients.”
