The Lexington, KY office of HUB International traces its roots back to 2007, when Employee Benefit Associates (EBA) was founded with a mission to transform traditional benefits advisory into a consultative, strategic, and technology-driven practice. Under the leadership of founder John N. Humkey, EBA quickly established itself as a trusted partner for employers across Central Kentucky, offering innovative employee benefits solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the modern workforce.
EBA’s commitment to excellence and forward-thinking approach led them to become one of the first 30 charter benefit advisors to adopt the Health Rosetta principles in 2017. This adoption underscored their dedication to transparency, value-based care, and sustainable benefits strategies that prioritize both employer objectives and employee well-being.
Over the years, the Lexington team earned a reputation for building strong, collaborative relationships with clients—many of whom have remained with the team for more than a decade. Their ability to blend deep industry knowledge with hands-on support has made them a respected advisor to a wide range of organizations, from small businesses to large regional employers.
In April 2025, EBA joined forces with HUB International, enhancing their capabilities and resources while continuing to provide the personalized service their clients had come to expect. Now operating as HUB, the Lexington office remains a cornerstone of our Kentucky operations, contributing to a statewide team of nearly 100 insurance and benefits professionals.
The Lexington team specializes in strategic benefit planning, compliance assistance, communication and education, HR support and vendor management, technology integration, and total health management. Their consultative approach involves in-depth analysis of current benefits programs, identification of improvement opportunities, and implementation of actionable solutions designed to achieve meaningful outcomes.
With a diverse client base spanning industries such as healthcare, education, nonprofit, professional services, and manufacturing, the Lexington office has demonstrated consistent versatility in addressing complex benefits challenges. Located at 424 Lewis Hargett Circle, Suite 250, the team continues to build lasting relationships by delivering customized, proactive solutions aligned with each organization’s goals.
As part of HUB, they are proud to carry forward a legacy of trust, innovation, and excellence in employee benefits consulting—backed by national resources and driven by a strong local presence.
