WalkerHughes Insurance, a privately held, founder-led retail insurance brokerage, announced its expansion into Illinois with the acquisition of Benhoff Insurance Agency, well-established personal lines brokerage based in Breese, Illinois.
Benhoff Insurance Agency, led by longtime owner Bruce Benhoff, has served Clinton County for decades with a strong focus on personal lines and a commitment to client care. The agency’s tenured team and deep local relationships make it a natural fit for WalkerHughes’ people-first approach and regional growth strategy.
The Breese office will continue operations under the WalkerHughes brand, supported by regional and central business unit leadership. Benhoff will remain actively involved to ensure a smooth transition and client continuity.
The addition of Benhoff Insurance Agency reflects WalkerHughes’ commitment to strategic growth, long-term partnerships, and expanding access to high-quality insurance services across the Midwest.
