Hub buys Manitoba-based insurance broker

Hub International Limited has acquired the shares of Gibson’s Insurance Agency Limited, a Manitoba-based insurance brokerage.

Terms of the acquisition weren’t disclosed, but Gibson’s will become part of the Hub International Horizon operations. Gibson’s has two locations in Treherne and Notre Dame de Lourdes, each of which will remain in operation.

“Gibson’s agricultural clients are similar to Hub’s Manitoba client profile,” says Keith Jordan, president and CEO of Hub International Horizon. As a result of the acquisition, those clients will now have access to a larger suite of products.
