Hilb Group has continued its strategic expansion with the acquisition of an unnamed Rhode Island-based property and casualty business focused largely on personal lines, effective Nov. 1, 2025.
The deal reinforces the company's footprint in the New England region and broaders its portfolio of personal lines offerings, providing greater scale and local expertise for clients.
The acquisition also builds on a series of targeted transactions across the Southeast and Florida markets.
On Sept. 1, Hilb completed the purchase of a North Carolina-based life, health, and employee benefits agency, enhancing its presence in the state and across the broader Southeast region. Earlier, in July, the company acquired a Florida-based full-service insurance agency, expanding its product and service offerings in a market challenged by high claims activity, litigation, and exposure to extreme weather events, particularly hurricanes.
Hilb has also added a South Carolina-based retirement plan book of business, strengthening its Southeast operations in employee benefits and advisory services.
Through these acquisitions, Hilb Group is pursuing a strategy of scale and diversification, enabling the company to provide a more comprehensive range of insurance and benefits solutions to both individual and corporate clients. The integration of these businesses allows Hilb to leverage local market knowledge while offering broader coverage options, from personal lines and property coverage to life, health, and retirement planning solutions.
For the insurance industry, Hilb’s expansion illustrates a broader trend of consolidation among regional insurers and agencies, particularly in markets facing operational pressures such as high claims volatility, complex regulatory environments, and exposure to natural disasters.
By acquiring established businesses, Hilb can strengthen underwriting capacity, increase service capabilities, and better meet the evolving needs of policyholders and employers.
Adam Kembrooke, managing director and founder of Hilb Group, has highlighted the company’s focus on providing robust insurance solutions across key US regions.
