AssuredPartners Acquires Pennsylvania-based StoudtAdvisors
LAKE MARY, Fla. (PRWEB) June 17, 2015 -- AssuredPartners Inc., one of the fastest growing independent insurance agencies in the nation, announces today the acquisition of StoudtAdvisors. This independent insurance broker specializes in employee benefits programs and human resources consulting services to businesses of all sizes in Central Pennsylvania and beyond. The agency will continue to operate from its existing Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based office under the local leadership of CEO and President David Stoudt.
As a second generation family-owned business since 1989, StoudtAdvisors helps clients develop and implement an innovative benefits package to maximize the health of their employees and business. The firm’s private health care exchange, Bright Choices, serves to support companies in managing their benefits budget. StoudtAdvisors also brings client expertise in all key human resources disciplines, including compensation, compliance, training and development, HR strategic planning and more.
“We operate under the same philosophy as when my father founded the company—clients deserve a far more in-depth approach with personalized, one-on-one benefit solutions,” said Stoudt. “As part of AssuredPartners, we will remain committed to partnering with our clients in a meaningful, personal way.”
“As we continue our expansion efforts with AssuredPartners, we look for agencies that share Crawford Advisors’ values and commitment to excellence,” said Crawford Advisors President Reagan Crawford. “We have known David and his father, Ken for years and have always admired and respected their professionalism, entrepreneurial spirit and integrity. We warmly welcome our newest associates to Crawford Advisors and AssuredPartners.”
AssuredPartners President and COO Tom Riley commented, “We are proud to expand our expertise in the employee benefits arena and Central Pennsylvania with the addition of a trusted business partner like StoudtAdvisors.”
