On February 1, 2024, Deland, Gibson Insurance Associates, a leading Massachusetts Insurance and Risk Management consultant in Wellesley Hills, MA, acquired Duxbury-based Austin Chandler Insurance.

The Agency’s roots trace back to owner Robin Chandler’s family business, established in 1949. In 2015, she founded Austin Chandler Insurance, which has since flourished as a successful, female-owned and operated full-service insurance agency.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Austin Chandler, a highly regarded and talented organization led by women,” said Deland, Gibson CEO Chip Gibson. “Austin Chandler Insurance has been a pillar of the Duxbury community, and their values align seamlessly with those of Deland, Gibson. This partnership is an ideal fit, and we are eager to collectively uphold our commitment to providing peace of mind through proactive service.”

This alliance will bring increased opportunities and resources for the Austin Chandler team and clientele while expanding Deland, Gibson’s presence in Duxbury and surrounding communities.

Robin Chandler commented on the acquisition, saying, “We are delighted to join the Deland, Gibson family! This will allow us to offer our clients a plethora of carriers and enhance our customer service. We think this is a perfect fit for our agency.”

The Austin Chandler team will remain at their Duxbury office at 459 Washington Street.
