NFP, an Aon company, has acquired certain assets of AnchorGroup, expanding its employee benefits footprint in upstate New York.
Kiehl Hutchings, owner of AnchorGroup, will join NFP as vice president of benefits and will report to Kelly Smith, senior vice president of benefits.
Kate Henry, president of NFP’s Northeast region, comments: “I am excited to welcome Kiehl and the AnchorGroup team to NFP. This addition strengthens our presence in upstate New York, especially in the Greater Syracuse area, with an experienced team of group benefits professionals.
“Through AnchorGroup’s offerings and clients, we will build on our already robust capabilities and expand our connections to employers in the area.”
Since 1971, AnchorGroup has provided group employee benefits solutions to small and mid-market clients across the state of New York, with an emphasis on upstate. AnchorGroup is also a member of Benefits Partners, a national corporate benefit producer group and one of NFP’s member organisations.
Hutchings adds: “My family has a long history of serving businesses across New York State, and NFP’s diverse portfolio of expertise, capabilities and solutions will allow us to better support the needs of small and midsize businesses here.
“As a member of Benefits Partners, I have seen NFP’s values and impact firsthand, and I am looking forward to the next phase of our NFP connection.”
