Neace Lukens Acquires Kentucky’s Berryman Agency

Louisville-based insurance agency Neace Lukens is expanding its presence in Kentucky by buying the Berryman Insurance Agency.

The Hartford, Kentucky-based Berryman Agency was founded in 1937 and its current owners date back to 1967. The agency specializes in auto, home, property, workers’ compensation, and life and health products. In addition to its Hartford office, the agency has offices in Owensboro and Hardinsburg.

Neace Lukens is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AssuredPartners Inc., a portfolio company of GTCR, a private equity firm.

Neace Lukens has 22 offices located in Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia, Arkansas, Florida and South Carolina.

The acquisition of the Berryman Agency is the first since AssuredPartners bought Neace Lukens in September 2011.
