Hub International was formed in 1998 by the merger of 11 privately held Canadian insurance brokerages. Today, with more than 330 locations and 7,000-plus employees, Hub is one of the largest insurance agencies in the world. In 2013, Hub was recognized as the top personal lines agency in the United States. It’s also the largest privately held personal lines practice in North America. The company also created Hub Gives, a charitable program that allows employees to donate their time and service to community projects.
