Higginbotham has acquired Botson Insurance Group of Avon, Ohio, extending the Fort Worth-based firm’s presence in The Buckeye State.
Higginbotham acquired western Ohio's Community Insurance Group earlier this year.
“We are thrilled to form this relationship with Botson Insurance,” said Rusty Reid, Higginbotham chairman and CEO, in a press release. “Greg Botson spent decades building his company from a one-man shop to a thriving business with a large portfolio and expertise that includes a wide range of specialty offerings. We're looking forward to bringing some of those service offerings, such as an insurance program designed specifically for landscaping contractors, to a wider customer base.”
Botson Insurance was founded in 1991 by Botson.
“We had reached a point where we needed more resources to continue bringing the best possible service to our clients,” Botson said. “With Higginbotham, we get expertise in new specialty markets and we also get the firm's value-added Day Two Services®, which include improved loss control, better claims service, and contract review.”
Higginbotham's Day Two Services are designed to maintain a responsive relationship between brokers and clients.
“With Higginbotham taking over so much of the back-office work, we get to spend more time strengthening our client relationships and bringing in new customers, which is what we love doing the most,” Botson said.
