Symphony Risk Solutions Acquires GBEW, Expanding Its Employee Benefits Leadership

DALLAS, Texas — Nov. 5, 2025 — Symphony Risk Solutions today announced the acquisition of George Belcher Evans & Wilmer (GBEW), a respected Dallas-based employee benefits firm known for six decades of trusted service to employers and executives across the region.

The move strengthens Symphony Consulting, Symphony Risk’s employee benefits business and deepens its commitment to middle-market clients seeking smarter, more personal advisory relationships in an increasingly complex benefits landscape.

A Legacy of Service, Built on Relationships

Founded more than 60 years ago, GBEW has earned a reputation for excellence through enduring relationships and a client-first philosophy. The firm’s deep experience in plan design, compliance, and human capital solutions has helped employers deliver better benefits at lower costs.

“For more than six decades, GBEW has earned the trust of employers and individuals by delivering benefits programs designed around people, not policies,” said Tom George, President of GBEW. “Joining Symphony Risk Solutions allows us to expand those capabilities and bring even more value to the clients we’re privileged to serve.”

Expanding Client Value

Symphony Risk Solutions brings together specialized expertise across industries – from real estate, construction, and energy to private equity, healthcare, agriculture and emerging sectors – under one connected advisory platform. By aligning property and casualty, employee benefits, executive liability, and wealth strategies, Symphony helps clients make smarter decisions, reduce cost of risk, and strengthen their businesses.

“Our clients win when we bring in experts who care deeply about service and results,” said Michael Marcon, CEO of Symphony Risk Solutions. “GBEW built a wonderful business doing exactly that. This partnership means more expertise, more resources, and the same personal attention our clients count on. It’s how we continue to raise the standard of what a broker should be.”

Delivering Consistency and Continuity for Clients

GBEW’s team will continue serving their clients under the Symphony Consulting brand, supported by Symphony Risk’s national network of data, analytics, and specialized advisory services.

“GBEW has built a legacy around listening to clients and solving real problems,” said Elliot Rosenblum, President, Symphony Consulting. “That’s exactly how we approach consulting at Symphony Risk – understanding what’s unique about each organization and delivering modern, practical, data-driven solutions. Together, we’ll help clients navigate benefits with greater clarity and confidence.”
