Every year, Business Insurance ranks wholesale brokers based on the previous year’s premium volume. Brown & Riding continues to be named as one of the Top 10 Largest Property/Casualty Wholesalers in the country. In order to be considered, companies must derive 50% or more of their premium from wholesale brokerage. Brown & Riding stands out as a true leader in the wholesale space, generating over 98% of its total business as a wholesale broker, significantly higher than any other company on the list.
Founded in 1980, Brown & Riding is the longest-standing national wholesale broker in the United States. One of B&R’s unique characteristics is that the firm continues to experience significant ongoing organic growth while remaining truly independent. The firm is 100% owned and managed by key employees and currently has over 60 shareholders. Brokers own approximately 60% of the company and growing. The remaining shares are owned by key individuals who are actively serving in executive leadership roles.
Brown & Riding stands firm in its commitment to remain independent and is the only major national wholesale broker that is fully independent and free from any retail broker affiliation or outside ownership. The firm also remains dedicated to investing in its employees and committed to developing the firm’s future generations of leadership, another attribution to their success.
