Risk Strategies has acquired Ohio-based specialty broker First Insurance Group.
Founded in 1946, First Insurance Group is an agency that offers custom insurance placement services for property and casualty, health, life and employee benefits, as well as a variety of related services.
Additional services the group offers to its clients include; HR consulting, in-house compliance expertise, safety, wellness and loss control, an online portal and mobile app and an educational webinar and seminar series.
The agency will continue to operate as First Insurance Group, as a division of Risk Strategies.
Risk Strategies has acquired the group from Premier Financial Corp, a community banking and financial services holding company, also based in Ohio.
Commenting on the mandate, Steve Giannone, Risk Strategies central region leader, says: “We’re excited to bring the First Insurance Group team into the Risk Strategies family. We see a great cultural and business fit between our organisations, including a similar commitment to strong community support and caring, that will fuel continued success across Ohio.”
