Mark Hughes shared, "While considering a partnership with a larger organization, we prioritized bringing additional value to our clients and additional benefits and opportunities to our employees. We also wanted to maintain our service-oriented culture and ensure that there would be a seamless transition for our clients. Our partnership with PointeNorth will provide us additional resources and opportunities to offer the best solutions to protect our clients. And, we look forward to leveraging technology along with these additional resources to best meet the evolving needs of our clients and local community in the future."

The acquisition will allow O.M. Hughes Insurance to leverage PointeNorth's expansive network around the Birmingham area, while maintaining its long-standing commitment to customer satisfaction and community relationships.
