Strategic Risk Solutions (SRS) today announced that it has acquired the operations of CGE Group (CGE), a leading independently owned captive and other international business management company in Barbados. All staff of CGE will remain with the firm, including Chris Evans, the current CEO of CGE who will continue to lead the Barbados operations.

It services captives and other international business entities owned by Canadian and US organizations. CGE has a staff of 10 in Barbados. “We believe that Barbados is well suited to our captive management model and establishing an operation in Barbados will allow us to expand our reach among North American captive owners, particularly in Canada”, said Brady Young, President and CEO of SRS. “In reviewing the market it quickly became apparent that CGE was an ideal fit with SRS and that an acquisition would allow us to establish a strong immediate presence. We are excited to welcome Chris and his team into the SRS family and look forward to working with them to further grow our presence in Barbados and continue delivering excellent service to CGE’s clients and others that are looking for more value added services”, added Young.
