Highstreet Insurance Partners, a community-based insurance brokerage and financial services firm, has strengthened its employee benefits offerings by acquiring Wingert Insurance Agency. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Wingert Insurance Agency, headquartered in Mill Creek, Washington, is known for its specialization in employee benefits and property & casualty insurance services.
President Shelley Wingert (pictured) and vice president Jason Wingert will maintain their leadership roles, continuing to manage operations from their existing office with the backing of Highstreet’s West regional president Brian Clifford.
“With their expansive markets and teams, we are thrilled with the opportunity presented to bring greater choice to our clients and prospects.”
Brian Clifford expressed enthusiasm for the acquisition, noting, “Wingert’s expertise in employee benefits and their community-based approach to personal and business insurance is a perfect fit for our region. We’re excited to welcome Wingert to the Highstreet team.”
This acquisition is part of Highstreet’s ongoing expansion strategy, which recently included the addition of Columbia Insurance in Washington and Flagler Insurance Agency in Florida.
Earlier this month, Columbia’s Scott Mukensnabl noted: “We are constantly seeking ways by which to improve the customer experience through enhanced levels of service, leveraged carrier relationships, and breadth of product offerings.
“Our relationship with Highstreet Insurance Partners will help to achieve those goals and further expand our reach throughout the Northwest and our extended operating territory.”
