Doug Johnson Insurance provides personal, commercial and employee benefits coverage, and Mr. Johnson and his team will join Hub Florida, Hub said Thursday in a statement.

The acquisition “demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the Gainesville region and our desire to continue to grow in Florida,” said Chris Gardner, CEO of Hub Florida.
