Alera Group Continues SE Expansion with Sutter McLellan Agency in Georgia

Alera Group, a national property insurance and benefits firm, has acquired Atlanta area-based Sutter, McLellan & Gilbreath, a full-service agency.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The move will expand Alera’s presence in the Southeast. Sutter McLellan, headquartered in Buford, Georgia, was founded in 1953 and offers employee benefits, auto, home, business, life and builders’ risk policies.

The Sutter team will continue to serve clients. Drew Gilbreath is vice president of operations.

The acquisition comes just a few days after Alera announced it had acquired Virginia-based Ascent Group. Alera, headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois, reports more than $1 billion in revenues. It has 4,000 employees in more than 180 offices.
