Brown & Brown began in 1939 as a two-partner firm in Daytona Beach, Florida, built on a bold, simple vision: that relationships drive results. Over more than eight decades, that vision has propelled us from a small family agency into one of the world's largest insurance brokerages — a publicly traded S&P 500 company reporting $5.9 billion in revenue in 2025, with approximately 23,000 talented teammates operating across 700+ locations in 19 countries and growing. We have expanded steadily and strategically, entering Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia through acquisitions that bring complementary skills, broader carrier relationships, and deeper market access. In 2025, our acquisition of Accession Risk Management Group added more than 5,000 teammates and new specialties to our team. Yet through every milestone — our listing on the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, our Great Place To Work® certifications, and our first international offices — our foundation has never changed: a commitment to trust, resilience, teamwork, and delivering results for every customer we serve. We are, and always will be, A Forever Company.

We are a big company that simply does not act like one. At Brown & Brown, the team comes before the title — which is why we have teammates, not employees, and leaders, not managers. Our culture, captured in what we call The Power of WE, is grounded in integrity, grit, and a shared commitment to doing what is best for our customers — never what is easiest for us. We are a meritocracy at heart: teammates who bring a proactive mindset, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a 'can do' attitude are the ones who thrive and grow here. With deep local connections in every community where we live and work, paired with the resources and reach of a global leader, we combine the personalized, dedicated service of a boutique agency with the scale and stability of a top brokerage. The cheetah — a symbol of vision, swiftness, strength, and agility — has represented our culture since the 1980s, and it remains the perfect embodiment of who we are and how we show up for our customers every single day.

We deliver innovative insurance and risk management solutions across three core practice areas — Property & Casualty, Employee Benefits, and Personal Insurance — supported by a broad suite of specialty consulting services. For businesses of every size and complexity, we take a different approach to how they view, analyze, and purchase insurance, building comprehensive programs that help manage rising costs and align risk strategies to organizational goals. For individuals and families, we provide personalized coverage designed to protect what they value most, from homeowners and auto to fine art, marine, and private collections. For hard-to-place and complex risks, our specialty distribution platform serves insurance carriers, wholesale and retail brokers, and organizations requiring tailored, innovative solutions. Across all of it, our consulting capabilities — spanning actuarial services, health and welfare, pharmacy, retirement benefits, M&A due diligence, and healthcare claims auditing — allow us to go well beyond placement and serve as a true strategic partner at every stage of a customer's growth.

Our mission is to deliver innovative solutions through our trusted team, driving positive results for our customers at every stage of their growth journey. Our vision is to be the leading global provider of innovative insurance solutions — empowering every customer, whether a multinational enterprise or an individual protecting their family, to face the future with confidence. Business doesn't stand still, and neither do we. Growth has no finish line, and that belief drives everything — from the solutions we build to the careers we cultivate and the communities we serve. We are here not simply to sell insurance but to be a partner that evolves alongside our customers, anticipates what comes next, and builds the programs, relationships, and strategies that protect what they have worked hardest to build.

Six core values define how every teammate at Brown & Brown shows up — for customers, for each other, and for the communities we serve. People-first means health, family, and business — in that order, always. Integrity means we do what we say and say what we mean, in every interaction. Innovation drives us to find better ways forward in an ever-changing risk landscape. Respect ensures every voice is heard and every contribution matters. Grit is the relentless persistence that has defined us since 1939 — the same quality embodied by the cheetah, our cultural symbol since the 1980s. And Teamwork — The Power of WE — reminds us that everything we accomplish is the result of a collective effort, never an individual one. These are not aspirational statements. They are the lived, daily operating principles of a meritocracy where hard work is recognized, growth is celebrated, and doing right by the customer is never negotiable.

We bring something rare to the insurance market: the personalized, dedicated service of a boutique agency backed by the scale, resources, and carrier relationships of one of the world's largest brokerages. Because we operate with a decentralized structure, our local teams have the agility to move fast and the authority to build solutions that truly fit — without layers of bureaucracy slowing them down. Our teammates are not just service providers; nearly 20% of our company is owned by teammates, which means the people managing your account have a genuine, personal stake in the outcome. We have been certified as a Great Place To Work® every year since 2019, recognized by Fortune as a Best Workplace for Women and a Best Workplace in Financial Services & Insurance, and honored by Mental Health America with the Platinum Level Bell Seal Award for Workplace Mental Health. When our teammates are thriving, our customers feel the difference. And with our 2026 Market Trends Report and deep industry analytics capabilities, we bring forward-thinking strategic insight to every client conversation — not just coverage placement.

We believe that a great business has an obligation to be a great citizen — to its people, its communities, and the world. That conviction is reflected in our annual Global Impact Report, which documents our environmental, social, and governance commitments across our entire team of companies. Our Culture of Caring runs deep: with thousands of teammates in hundreds of locations worldwide, giving back to the communities in which we live and work is not a program — it is simply part of who we are. We also walk our talk on teammate well-being. Brown & Brown has earned the Mental Health America Platinum Level Bell Seal Award for Workplace Mental Health for multiple consecutive years, recognizing our investment in creating supportive, healthy workspaces where every teammate can thrive. And in a symbol of our values that goes beyond our walls, we proudly support cheetah conservation through the Cheetah Conservation Fund and the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre in South Africa — the animal that has represented our culture since the 1980s.

Community service is part of our DNA. From Daytona Beach — where we were founded and where our headquarters campus stands today — to every city, town, and region across our 700+ locations in 19 countries, our teammates are deeply invested in the places they call home. Our Culture of Caring is not mandated from the top; it is demonstrated every day through our team's passion for giving back to those in need. Our DIB Signature Programs extend that spirit of community inward and outward: Culture Day gives every teammate a floating holiday to observe or celebrate their culture, heritage, or community in their own way. Commemorative Months bring teammates across the company together to learn, celebrate, and connect. And our Teammate Resource Groups — from Veterans to Mental Health to Cultural Diversity — serve as vehicles for both internal community and meaningful external outreach. Our founder's family itself has a long history of public service, from Florida state government to childhood education advocacy, a tradition of contribution that continues to shape our organization today.

At Brown & Brown, belonging is not a benefit — it is a baseline. Our Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (DIB) commitment is grounded in a simple belief: just like the distinct spots on a cheetah, every teammate is unique, and those unique talents make us collectively stronger. We are a meritocracy where teammates are encouraged to show up as their true, authentic selves and are rewarded for their individual contributions — not for conforming to a single mold. Our ten Teammate Resource Groups — including LGBTQ+, Black Excellence, The Power of She, Veterans, Mental Health, Neuro-Inclusion, Parents and Carers, Somos, Cultural Diversity, and Abilities — are teammate-led, voluntary, and actively shape our culture through leadership development, community outreach, networking, and belonging initiatives. Our Belonging Sessions create safe spaces for candid, ongoing dialogue across the organization. We have been recognized by Fortune as a Best Workplace for Women and a Best Workplace in Financial Services & Insurance, and our EEO-1 data is publicly available. Our DIB vision is clear: every teammate, everywhere, should feel that they belong — because at Brown & Brown, everyone is different, and everyone belongs.
