King Risk Partners has continued its strategic expansion in the Southeast with several acquisitions, enhancing its regional presence.
The firm recently acquired Stuart Surles Insurance, an independent agency based in Angier, North Carolina. With over 30 years of experience, Stuart Surles Insurance has built a reputation for personalized, relationship-driven service and deep knowledge of local clients’ needs. The agency specializes in comprehensive farm insurance solutions designed to protect both the lifestyle and livelihood of farmers, and also provides home, auto, health, and life insurance coverage.
King Risk Partners said the acquisition strengthens its capacity to serve rural communities while integrating a well-established agency into its national platform.
Last month, King Risk Partners acquired Jenkins Insurance, a long-standing agency based in Harrisonburg. Operating for more than four decades in Harrisonburg, Rockingham, and neighboring areas, Jenkins Insurance offers a broad range of insurance products, including personal lines, commercial coverage, cyber liability, flood, and other specialty lines. This acquisition enhances King Risk Partners’ presence in Virginia, giving the firm additional access to local businesses and individuals seeking tailored insurance solutions.
Expanding further into the Southeast, King Risk Partners also recently acquired LH Griffith & Company, an independent insurance agency with offices in Walterboro and Goose Creek, South Carolina. Established more than 25 years ago, LH Griffith provides a full suite of insurance solutions for individuals, families, and businesses, including auto, home, life, business, and transportation coverage. The agency has built strong client relationships across the Lowcountry, emphasizing long-term service and trust.
These acquisitions reflect King Risk Partners’ broader strategy of combining national scale with local expertise. By integrating well-established independent agencies into its platform, the firm can offer more comprehensive and specialized coverage solutions while maintaining the personalized service clients expect. The moves also strengthen King Risk Partners’ ability to serve niche markets, including farm, commercial, and specialty lines, supporting continued growth across the Southeast and positioning the firm as a leading regional and national insurance brokerage.
