The Hilb Group announced today that it has acquired The Nowell Agency, based in Mississippi, further expanding the company’s growing presence in the Southeast region and building on its property and casualty expertise. The acquisition took effect December 1, 2022.

With offices in Brandon, Greenwood, Tupelo, Byram, and Hattiesburg, The Nowell Agency provides an extensive array of insurance products for both individuals and businesses.
