Afore Insurance Services, a brokerage and broker acquisition platform based in the Atlanta area, has acquired Block Insurance in Oveido, Florida, a firm that has specialized in finding coverage for childcare providers, educators, private schools and martial arts organizations.
Afore said in a news release that the childcare insurance space is a rapidly growing segment of the industry and Block will soon be expanding its reach across the country.
“Early childhood educators are better served with a full suite of coverage and market options,” said Afore CEO Michael Garguilo. “Block’s extensive industry expertise, combined with our resources, will accelerate our national expansion into this segment.”
Beth and Steven Block and their 12 employees have joined the Afore team. Block Insurance was founded in 1987 and said the firm helps clients implement best-practice risk management programs to lower costs.
Afore, begun in the 1970s, said it is one of the larger brokerages and has acquired more than 50 agencies through the years.
