Inszone Insurance Services, a rapidly growing national provider of commercial, personal, and benefits insurance, is pleased to announce the acquisition of BenefitRiver, LLC. This strategic acquisition enhances Inszone’s footprint in Bozeman, Montana, and Golden, Colorado, while adding deep, specialized expertise in employee benefits to the organization.
Founded in 2008 by Craig Gilbert, BenefitRiver has spent the last 18 years providing dedicated, high-quality employee benefits solutions to its clients. As Craig looked toward his next chapter and a transition out of the industry, he sought a partner capable of providing a reliable, long-term home for his clients. To ensure continuity and maintain the high level of service clients expect, key team member Jen Bernier has transitioned to Inszone alongside the acquisition.
“After 18 years in the business, I was ready to start a new chapter and do something different,” said Craig Gilbert, founder of BenefitRiver, LLC. “What drew me to Inszone was their specialization in purchasing ‘mom and pop’ agencies. I felt my clients would find a good home here. I really like Chris Walters, and there was excellent word of mouth from other clients and agencies who had sold to Inszone.”
By joining Inszone Insurance Services, BenefitRiver’s clients will maintain the personalized service they value while gaining access to Inszone’s expansive national carrier network and comprehensive back-office support.
“Craig has built a fantastic agency with a strong, specialized focus on employee benefits,” said Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services. “We are thrilled to welcome Jen Bernier to our team and to continue delivering the high standard of care that BenefitRiver’s clients rely on. This acquisition perfectly complements our national strategy, and we are excited to provide these clients with the expanded resources they need to thrive.”
