Deland, Gibson Insurance Joins Assurex Global

COLUMBUS, OHIO – Deland, Gibson Insurance Associates in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, joined Assurex Global effective December 15, 2022.

Established in 1900, Deland, Gibson is a Massachusetts insurance agency that has thrived working as a trusted advisor for its client base. Through a handful of subtle name changes over the past century, Deland, Gibson has maintained its identity as an insurance and risk manager.

This firm is now included in the 101 independent brokerages of the worldwide Partnership.

Deland, Gibson was originally founded in Boston by Charles E. Deland and named The Deland Insurance Agency. Deland’s nephew George Gibson took over in 1935 and ran the agency until 1986. Passing the torch to the third generation, George’s son Charlie Gibson took the reins. For over 30 years, Charlie presided as president and CEO until 2015. In 2015 the fourth generation joined Charlie in the agency’s leadership. Chip and Ted Gibson assumed the roles of CEO and President, and Charlie moved on to become chairman.

The addition of Deland, Gibson is part of Assurex Global’s ongoing strategy to add multiple Partner Firms in 2022 as it continues to grow and enhance its offerings. Partner Firms must meet stringent selection standards, so clients know they are working with the best when choosing an Assurex Global Partner.

“We are excited to now have a strong, family-owned Partner Firm headquartered in Massachusetts,” said Assurex Global President & CEO Dean Hildebrandt. “We welcome Deland, Gibson’s expertise and strength of service to the Partnership.”

Originally a generalist agent, the company has evolved and adapted into a top risk advisor and insurance manager. In addition to its headquarters in Wellesley Hills, it also maintains branch offices in Franklin and Dennis Port, Massachusetts.
