What a year! We are so thrilled to announce the acquisition of Post Insurance Services, Inc., a full-service insurance agency based in Meridian, ID.
“Post Insurance is a like-minded, independent company that will help anchor The Partners Group in Idaho as a firm that serves its clients and community with intentionality and adherence to our core values,” says TPG’s CEO Brad Nantz. “It’s rare find two companies who have similar cultural alignment and who have maintained their independence for more than 40 years.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with TPG, that like Post Insurance, has accomplished some really good things over the past several decades,” says Andrew Elam, Post Insurance president and co-owner. “Partnering with the right group that shares similar growth goals and core values was very important to us, as we feel the strategic alignment will be crucial in delivering favorable outcomes to clients, employees, and our communities over time.”
Founded in 1986, Post Insurance is one of Idaho’s most reputable full-service insurance agencies and boasts nearly 40 years of expertise in commercial insurance, surety bonds, employee benefits, personal insurance, and life insurance. Post Insurance’s partnership with TPG is rooted in the companies’ common goal of offering Idaho’s contractors, manufacturers, businesses, and individuals the best insurance options with professionalism, integrity, and transparency.
“During our early conversations with TPG, I was pleased to learn we had a shared focus on putting customers first, prioritizing employees, and operating with integrity and tenacity,” says Patrick Casabonne, Post Insurance CFO and co-owner. “We are excited for our partnership with TPG and look forward to achieving long-term company growth and excellence together.”
With the addition of Post Insurance, TPG now employs people in Portland, OR; Renton, WA; Boise, ID; Meridian, ID; Bend, OR; Scottsdale, AZ; and Austin, TX, along with a number of remote workers across the US. Bringing the two firms together will mean more robust offerings for clients along with increased resources for employees.
The Partners Group has been on a steady upward trajectory for more than four decades, today posting an annual review of about $60 million. The company is regularly named to lists including Oregon Business Magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For and Portland Business Journal’s Corporate Philanthropy Award. In 2020, TPG set a “big, hairy audacious goal” (BHAG) to give $30 million in time and donations back to its employees and their communities by 2030. And in 2023, the company made good toward achieving that goal by announcing that all tenured employees had become stockholders in the independently owned company.
“TPG lives by its five core values,” says Nantz. “Play well with others, own it, be a champion, have fun and live well, and be curious. This announcement today with Post Insurance combines those values and beyond. We look forward to seeing where this partnership will grow, for the benefit of our employees, our clients, and our communities.”
