PR Newswire

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Benefits Group (MGM), an employee benefits firm in Richardson, Texas, serving as an agency for employers and as a managing general agency for brokers, has joined Higginbotham, one of the largest independent insurance, financial and HR services firms in the U.S. The deal gives MGM the ability to offer additional coverage lines and account services to its customers, primarily schools and universities, including commercial property and liability insurance and risk management support.

Higginbotham is tactically expanding its footprint and increasing its service capability by joining forces with other independent insurance firms that have strong reputations in their local markets, a desire to keep growing by tapping into Higginbotham's single source solution and a cultural match.

Higginbotham Chairman and CEO Rusty Reid said, "With the combined strengths of our firms, the schools and universities we serve will have one partner for their entire insurance program, whether it's to cover their commercial exposures, their student exposures or their employees' health and wellbeing. We're honored to have MGM join our pursuit in serving those institutions that serve our community."

MGM President Glenn Turchi added, "We continually look for ways to enhance the lives of our broker partners, group customers and their employees. With Higginbotham, we found a long-term strategic partner with the same passion and focus on providing top notch employee benefit products and delivering value with the additional coverages and services we now have access to." 

Turchi will continue leading the existing MGM team with Director of Marketing and Sales Support Leslie Benavides and Director of Sales Meghan Garrett.
