On October 16, 2025, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG) announced the acquisition of Strategic Services Group, Inc., a Rochester Hills, Michigan‑based employee benefits consulting firm. The deal was disclosed in a press release issued by AJG at 9:00 ET on the same day, with the transaction terms remaining undisclosed.
Strategic Services Group provides employee benefits consulting services across a range of industries in Michigan and the Midwest. By adding this firm to its portfolio, AJG aims to strengthen its Great Lakes region employee benefits consulting and brokerage operations under the leadership of Brian Lomas, head of the region. The acquisition is expected to broaden AJG’s service offering and deepen client relationships in the Midwest market.
The key personnel from Strategic Services Group—Doug Roehm, Greg Sudderth, and their team—will remain in their current locations and operate under AJG’s Great Lakes region umbrella. This continuity is intended to preserve client service quality while integrating the firm’s capabilities into AJG’s broader employee benefits consulting platform. The move underscores AJG’s ongoing strategy to grow through targeted acquisitions that enhance its consulting footprint.
