PPIA, set up in 2006 as an independent retail agency in Texas, focuses on personal lines insurance.
Risk Strategies national private client practice leader Bob Courtemanche said. “Bringing these two operations into our national organisation makes sense in that it adds new capabilities and market expertise in an important practice area, while further demonstrating our commitment to the state of Texas and the Southwest region.”
The two acquired entities collectively have around $200m in personal lines premiums.
SIM-PPIA co-owner Robert Cox said: “We know the power of access to resources and expertise. Joining Risk Strategies is a great way to expand our scope and provide even greater resources to our agency partners.”
