Patrick Beless's Company Details
Brown & Brown, Inc. was founded in 1939 in Daytona Beach, FL by two cousins, J. Adrian Brown & Charles Covington Owen. Under the direction of Adrian's son, Hyatt, a unique culture has been created which values individual initiative and instills an indomitable "can do" attitude in its employees. Today, the publicly traded company (NYSE: BRO) is led by the third generation of Browns – J. Powell Brown – and operates 241 offices throughout the United States, England, and Bermuda providing a variety of insurance and reinsurance products and services. We are currently the 6th largest insurance intermediary in the U.S. and 7th in the world.One of Brown & Brown's key differentiator from our competitors is our decentralized structure. Our decentralized operating model allows Brown & Brown Insurance of TN to maintain prideful relationships with our clients, carriers and local community. Our decentralized structure is key! It allows decisions to be made at the local level, eliminating rigid rules and bureaucratic interference that can slow progress and stifle new ideas. It also lends itself to high-quality customer service. Our TN roots began in 2007 when we acquired Security Insurance. With the acquisitions of Roussel & Associates (2008), Al Phillips Agency (2009), First Horizon Insurance Agency (2011), and Spann Insurance Agency (2017), all these agencies combined make Brown & Brown Insurance of TN. Today, our office has 90 teammates handling accounts of all sizes in all industries. As one of Brown & Brown's largest Southeastern operations, our office provides a full range of insurance brokerage and consulting services.
