Marsh McLennan Agency acquires Texas firm

Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA) has announced the acquisition of Focus Insurance, a personal insurance brokerage firm in Houston, Texas. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Established in 2001, Focus Insurance provides customized personal insurance programs throughout the United States. All Focus employees, including the firm’s vice president Mickie Comiskey, are set to join MMA following the acquisition.

“Focus Insurance puts individuals and families first, with a keen eye to customized solutions that protect their clients’ interests and assets,” said Bill Henry, CEO of MMA’s Southwest region. “We are pleased to welcome Focus to MMA as we see continued growth and expansion in the region.”

“Joining MMA is an opportunity for us to deliver even more comprehensive programs for clients by tapping into the resources made available through MMA’s private client group,” added Comiskey. “We are thrilled to see our colleagues grow as part of the MMA team and bring our capabilities to the next level.”

A subsidiary of Marsh, MMA has been on a string of acquisitions over the past year. Prior to Focus Insurance, it has recently acquired SC-based independent agency Steinberg & Associates and Maine-based full-service agency Clark Insurance, among other firms across the country.
