AJG acquires another US broker

Arthur J. Gallagher (AJG) has acquired California based Discovery Benefit Solutions (DBS).

Formed in 2008, DBS provides employee benefit consultation, management and brokerage services for group and individual clients throughout the western United States.

It specialises in self-funded medical, dental and vision programmes as well as benefit solutions for the bio-tech, hi-tech, charter school, medical group and manufacturing industries.

Brenda Fagan-Johnson, Michael Lutosky, Michael Pondrom and their associates will continue to operate in their current location under the direction of Norbert Chung, head of Gallagher's western employee benefit consulting and brokerage operations.

"The DBS team is well known for their depth of experience, industry knowledge and strong market relationships," said J. Patrick Gallagher, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Their Southern California presence, solid expertise and team-based client service will be a great complement to our western employee benefits operation. We are pleased to welcome Brenda, Mike, Michael and their colleagues to our growing Gallagher family of professionals."
