Wade Cox, Kyle Stinson and Brad Seib, Principals at Benefex, will join Hub International Insurance Brokers, a division of Hub International Canada West ULC (Hub Canada West).

"We are excited to add another dynamic firm to our expanding employee benefits platform," said Kevin Rome, President of Employee Benefits, Hub Canada West. "The Benefex team has a long-standing reputation of excellence in the Alberta benefits marketplace.
