Brown & Brown’s Retail Division continues to be the team to beat. By posting record revenues of over $348 million, and maintaining a strong total commission and fee growth rate of 23.3%, including an internal growth rate of 8.8%, Retail leads the way. The division employs tough sales management techniques, actively recruits exceptional, entrepreneurial-minded individuals and continually reviews and advances its important industry partnerships and client relationships.

During 2002, Retail’s presence was further expanded as a result of acquisitions in Arkansas, California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas. With Retail locations now in 28 states, we are fast becoming as well known in the Southwest and along the West Coast of the United States as we are in Florida and New York.
