AJG continues acquisition spree

Broker Arthur J Gallagher (AJG) has continued its acquisition spree with the acquisition of The Hawk Agency.

Based in Illinois and founded in 1929, Hawk is a retail insurance broker, providing commercial property/casualty, employee benefits, risk management consulting and personal lines insurance services for its clients throughout the Midwest. It also specialises in insurance coverages for the moving and storage industry.

Thomas Fliege and his associates will continue to operate in their current location under the direction of Michael Pesch, head of Gallagher's Midwest region retail property/casualty brokerage operation.

"The Hawk team is well known for their depth of experience and outstanding client service," said J Patrick Gallagher, chairman, president and chief executive officer (CEO).

"Their geographic footprint and niche expertise will help expand our central Illinois presence and will be a terrific addition to our Midwest region. We are extremely pleased to welcome Tom and his colleagues to our growing Gallagher family of professionals."

In December, AJG announced the acquisitions of Brown Hobbs & McMurray Insurance, Managed Healthcare Solutions, Strathearn Insurance Brokers, Centennial Insurance Agency and McPherson Benefits Group.
