AJG acquires employee benefits broker

Arthur J Gallagher (AJG) has acquired New Jersey-based employee consultancy firm Solid Benefit Guidance (SBG).

Established in 2005, SBG is an employee benefits brokerage and consulting firm which provides pharmacy and employee benefits. It has specific expertise in Medicare, Medicaid and exchange programmes.

SBG co-founders William Guerci and William Resnick and their colleagues will continue to operate from their current location under the direction of David Ziegler, head of Gallagher’s Eastern employee benefit consulting and brokerage operations.

"Over the last ten years, SBG has grown to be one of the largest and most highly-respected pharmaceutical benefits consulting firms in the country. Their pharmacy and employee benefits teams are well-known for their deep understanding of the healthcare industry, extensive experience inside the nation's largest health plans and focus on high-end, quality client service," said J Patrick Gallagher, Jr, chairman president and chief executive officer.

"Their specialisation will be a significant addition to Gallagher's niche practice group strategy and will be a great complement to our employee benefit consulting operations. We are pleased to welcome all the SBG associates to our growing Gallagher family of professionals.”
