"Bob McFall, who founded MGA in 1981, will remain with the company during the transition and will assume a consulting role thereafter," noted Bob McGrew. "Adding Bob's company and its quality people to our family of businesses makes our whole organization better." Added Mr. McFall, "I've known the folks at Hull & Company for many years, they have a great reputation, and their business is very closely aligned with ours, so it makes for a great fit."
Jenny Lupescu will become Senior Vice President and Branch Manager of both MGA offices. She will report to Bob McFall during the transition period then directly to Tim Neff, who is Hull's Western Operations leader. In addition, Jo Julian-Smith will become Senior Vice President in charge of operations for the two MGA locations and will report to Jenny.
"McFall General Agency has revenues of $2.7 million and works in three states out of its two offices. An added benefit for Hull is the addition of a presence in the Northwest, which gives our company real coast-to-coast scope," stated Tim Neff, Senior Vice President of Hull.
