Founding Principles
Our Story
Our Strategy
Our strategy is simple: acquire high-quality businesses with great leadership, then partner with them to drive growth by providing the resources and support that allows them to thrive and create additional value. A key element of our strategy is the alignment of interests through equity ownership.
Our Structure
Our Culture
We recognize that our associates are our greatest asset and we promote a culture of high-performance that encourages career and professional development. As our associates grow professionally, we will grow as a company.
Our Formula for Success
As we grow, we continue to focus on fundamentals that are key to our success and the success of our acquired agencies.
- Acquire great businesses with outstanding leadership and allow them to do what they do best.
- Improve organic growth through collaborative selling across our platform, improved access to markets and unique programs, higher commissions and contingent income through consolidated volume and systematic producer hiring and training programs.
- Support strategic growth through local acquisitions and fold-ins by providing capital, M&A and integration support and expertise.
- Decentralized operating model utilizing technology, data analytics and core competencies in key functional areas such as human resources and finance to streamline operations and promote synergies.
- Alignment of interests through equity ownership.
Partners together
At the Hilb Group, our primary objective is to support and enhance the growth of our agency partners.
By leveraging the capabilities of acquired businesses across our company and taking advantage of economies of scale, we can create greater value for our agency partners and more opportunities for our associates.
Our culture of collaboration and entrepreneurship fosters cross-selling and creativity, which leads to more robust growth across the enterprise.
