We have 18 offices nationwide, 40+ shareholders, 300+ employees, produce over $1.2Billion in annual premium volume, and continue to grow. Our true independence continues to allow us the freedom to focus on what’s best for our staff and clients, rather than cater to outside investors. We offer flexible work arrangements, including the option to work remotely, provide comprehensive benefits, and promote a full work-life balance. We firmly believe our employees are our greatest asset and are committed as a company to the development of our people. We strongly support diversity and inclusion and have collectively built an organization offering unobstructed opportunities to anyone seeking growth in their career at B&R. We have a proven track record of developing people and promoting from within, which has resulted in a highly professional, motivated, and very diverse organization at all levels, including our shareholder group, executive leadership team, and Board of Directors. The well-being and morale of all of our people is a top priority, and we believe our focus on building a great culture has resulted in a high level of job satisfaction at Brown & Riding.
