Salem, MA., December 12, 2022 – Salem Five Insurance, a subsidiary of Salem Five Bancorp, announced today that it has acquired Cavanaugh Insurance Agency, which was founded in 1977 and has offices in Norwood and Kingston. 

The merger provides Cavanaugh customers with expanded insurance offerings and even more professionals to help with coverage options, while further extending Salem Five Insurance’s reach south of Boston.

“Cavanaugh Insurance Agency has an outstanding reputation on the South Shore, and we are proud to add that team to ours in an effort to better serve each other’s customers with added convenience and knowledge,” said Andrew Drayer, SVP of Strategic Growth for Salem Five Insurance.
Salem Five Insurance has more than 75 employees in eight locations, and partners with dozens of carriers to meet the specific personal and business needs of its customers. In the past two years, it has acquired three other insurance agencies – growth that has enabled it to better serve customers in the highly competitive insurance business.

“Salem Five Insurance shares our commitment to providing customers with outstanding service, while taking care of its employees,” said Kevin Cavanaugh, President of Cavanaugh Insurance. “As we looked to expand the products and advice that our customers need to protect what they value most, there was no better partner than Salem Five.”

Salem Five began offering insurance in 2006, when it purchased Boyle Insurance Agency in Woburn from Gerard “Jay” Boyle and his brother, Brian Boyle, who serves as President of the insurance agency today.

“We look forward to serving Cavanaugh customers and continuing to provide them with the quality service that they have come to expect from their insurance agency,” Brian Boyle said.
