Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA), a subsidiary of Marsh, has acquired Maryland-based HMS Insurance Associates, one of the US’s largest independent agencies.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
John Stanchina, CEO of MMA’s Mid-Atlantic region, said: “The MMA goal has always been to partner with the best firms and together build a unique experience for colleagues and clients.
“With exceptional leadership, client satisfaction, long-term client retention, and decades of profitable growth, we are delighted to bring the HMS team on board.”
