Under this acquisition, Mark Shinstrom, president, Scott Shinstrom, vice president, Steve Shinstrom, treasurer, Mikal Norman, managing partner, and the entire Shinstrom & Norman team will join Hub Northwest.

Shinstrom & Norman is the latest in a string of acquisitions for the global broker. Earlier this week, Hub announced that it had acquired Massachusetts-based Horizon Insurance. Last month, Hub announced its acquisition of the assets of Edbrooke/Stelcner and Associates, a Florida-based employee benefits brokerage and consulting firm.
