Brown & Brown Acquisition Strategy

A Forever Company

Brown & Brown is a leading global insurance brokerage firm delivering comprehensive and customized insurance solutions and specialization since 1939. We are dedicated to delivering scalable, innovative strategies for our customers at every step of their growth journey.

We are focused on forever, and we are always actively looking for like-minded companies to join our winning team, enhance our capabilities and expand our global footprint to grow our business.

Let's Build Something Great Together.

Why Brown & Brown

We have a disciplined approach of acquiring firms that fit culturally, make sense financially and have teams of talented individuals. When joining our team, you experience our unique company culture that prioritizes our people – teammates, communities, customers, shareholders and carrier partners – and you get the backing of one of the insurance industry’s most powerful and influential leaders.

The Power of We

Teammates are our most valuable asset. This is why we have teammates, not employees; we have leaders, not managers. By giving our talented teammates the resources and training they need to be successful, they are prepared to deliver superior results for our customers.

Ownership Culture

With nearly 20% of the Company owned by teammates, we foster a unique ownership culture. Programs like the Teammate Stock Purchase Plan (TSPP), 401(k) and long-term equity grants encourage teammates to share in Brown & Brown’s success. Over 60% of our U.S. teammates participate in our TSPP, and more than 40% of our U.K.-based teammates participate in our save-as-you-earn (SAYE) plan.

Decentralized Sales & Services Models

We empower our local teams to focus on what they do best. Local sales and service strategies and decisions are supported by both regional and national resources of a large, global insurance brokerage.

Capabilities & Solutions

We are in the solutions business. Our businesses leverage enhanced access to markets, internal capabilities, collaborative specialized resources and strategic carrier partnerships to help meet the unique needs of our customers.

Teammate Resources

Growth Focused

Teammate Total Well-Being

Everything we do is about the greater “WE”—never “me.” While diverse and varied in abilities and experience, we are all connected through our core values, a commitment to our local communities and a shared mission—always doing what is best for our customers.

Growth & Development

Just like the distinct spots on a cheetah, every teammate at Brown & Brown is unique, and we are passionate about embracing and celebrating their diversity and unique talents.

Built To Last™

Through long-term programs and training, we enable all teammates to develop over their entire career. Relationships, culture and discipline drive our success. This is evidenced in the number of our senior leaders that have come to us through an acquisition and continued on with us long past their original intended timeline.

We joined Brown & Brown in 2012 and have witnessed first-hand the benefits that come from being on the team. We’re constantly impressed with the deep leadership talent that we get to work with day in and day out.

Acquired in 2012
Brown & Brown made several promises during our acquisition process. Not only did they keep all their promises, but they also really went the extra mile to ensure our satisfaction with the process and the outcome. We could not have selected a better partner to help us feed and grow our enterprise.

When running your own business, often times you have to make bold decisions about your future. Partnering with Brown & Brown is by far one of the best decisions we ever made. It provided my family with financial independence, and delivered access to resources that allowed TSG to continue to grow and acquire other businesses. The Brown & Brown culture is a great fit for our team!
