King Risk Partners has acquired Jenkins Insurance, an independent agency based in Harrisonburg, Va. The move is part of King Risk Partners’ ongoing expansion strategy and adds to its presence in the Virginia market.
Jenkins Insurance has operated in Harrisonburg, Rockingham, and neighboring regions for over four decades. The agency offers a range of insurance products, including personal lines, commercial coverage, cyber liability, flood, and other specialty areas.
"We are honored to welcome Jenkins Insurance to the King Risk Partners organization,” said Scott Popilek, chief executive officer of King Risk Partners.
Popilek said that Jenkins Insurance has established a reputation for integrity and client loyalty in Virginia. He described the acquisition as a strategic expansion that enhances King Risk Partners’ ability to deliver insurance solutions by combining national resources with local expertise.
Michael Jenkins, principal of Jenkins Insurance, said the partnership will maintain the agency’s personalized service while leveraging the infrastructure of a national firm.
“King’s client-first, values-oriented culture dovetailed perfectly with ours. We look forward to growing together, always true to our mission of serving clients and communities wholeheartedly,” Jenkins said.
The Jenkins Insurance deal is one of several recent acquisitions by King Risk Partners as it expands its national footprint. Earlier this year, the company acquired the Kerr Agency in Connecticut, a firm with a long history of serving personal and business insurance clients in the region. This move further strengthened King Risk Partners’ presence in the Northeast.
In the Southeast, King Risk Partners recently acquired LH Griffith & Company, an independent agency with offices in South Carolina. LH Griffith & Company, established over 25 years ago, provides insurance solutions for individuals, families, and businesses, with a focus on long-term relationships and service.
The brokerage has also expanded in the Northeast with the acquisition of Fidens Insurance Brokers in New Jersey. Fidens specializes in commercial insurance across sectors such as construction, financial services, healthcare, and technology, and has experience with mergers and acquisitions insurance.
