Gibson, an employee-owned, top-100 U.S. insurance agency based in northern Indiana, has acquired Midvale’s Brisk Advisors. Formerly known as Insurance Network, Brisk has provided risk management and personal insurance for more than 50 years.
“This partnership is a pivotal moment in our company’s history and we are honored to join Gibson,” said Taylor Covey, former principal at Brisk Advisors and new managing principal for Gibson Salt Lake City. “By leveraging the strength, reach and capabilities of Gibson, we will accelerate innovation and deliver expanded and enhanced commercial risk and employee benefits solutions to both current and future clients that help their businesses thrive. As we move forward together, the Utah team remains steadfast in its dedication to delivering the highest-quality services and maintaining the excellent customer experience that our clients have come to expect.”
“When working with Gibson, clients will gain access to superior tools and a wider range of data. This means sharper analysis, deeper insights and more uniquely tailored risk management and employee benefits solutions,” Gibson said in a statement.
“We see Salt Lake City as more than just a new location; it’s a nexus of innovation, culture and potential,” said Tim Leman, Gibson chairman and CEO. “As we expand into this market, we are not just acquiring a business, but integrating diverse strengths, embracing new visions and catalyzing collective potential. We’re thrilled to start this new chapter in a city that embodies the future of business, collaboration, talent and promise.”
Leman said Gibson plans to expand its presence throughout Utah, which includes adding new jobs in the region.
“Salt Lake City is an ideal location for Gibson. Its vibrant business community, highly educated workforce and dynamic economic environment align perfectly with Gibson’s growth strategy,” said Leman. “We look forward to contributing to the local community, creating new jobs and providing risk management and employee benefits strategies that empower our clients to seize their competitive edge.”
The first Gibson office opened in 1933 and it has offices in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and now Utah.
