Hub International Ltd. has acquired the assets of Virginia-based Bob Gottschling’s book of business.

Hub International did not disclose terms of the transaction.

Hub Retirement and Private Wealth President Joe DeNoyior said in a statement the deal expands the company’s geographic footprint. “We are super excited to have Bob join us in the Mid-Atlantic region with his extensive background in comprehensive financial planning,” he said.

The company said it remains committed to growing both organically and through acquisitions.
