Marsh expands reach across US with INSPRO acquisition

Marsh & McLennan Agency (MMA), the middle market agency subsidiary of broker Marsh, has expanded its footprint into Nebraska and Iowa with the acquisition of INSPRO, a full service, independent agency.

INSPRO provides business insurance, employee benefits, and personal lines insurance services to individuals, families, and small and midsize businesses throughout the region.

As part of the transaction, INSPRO’s staff will join MMA and continue to work out of their existing office and additional locations in Fremont, Omaha, Wahoo, and West Point, Nebraska and West Des Moines, Iowa.

Randall Eikmeier, chairman and CEO at INSPRO, will lead local offices, along with current president, Samuel Gifford and chief operating officer Jeffrey Jorgensen.

This acquisition is Marsh’s first in Nebraska and Iowa.

David Eslick, CEO of MMA, said: “As MMA continues to expand our reach across the US, we are fortunate to welcome INSPRO, a regional leader with a rich history of providing value-added services to companies of all sizes. Their dedication to client service and strong corporate culture make the INSPRO team a natural fit for MMA. We are excited to have them on board.”

Timothy Fleming, CEO of MMA’s Upper Midwest region, added: “Nebraska and the surrounding area have seen consistent growth in recent years, and the INSPRO team has continued to develop services and expertise to serve the market’s growing needs. We look forward to working with INSPRO to bring even more innovative solutions to the region.”

Eikmeier commented: “For decades, INSPRO has been committed to investing in services and solutions that benefit our clients and their businesses. By joining MMA, we will have access to even more cutting-edge solutions and services, while also providing our colleagues more opportunities to learn and grow. We see this transition as an important next chapter in the continuing evolution of our firm.”
