Our Story

The company that was to become Brown & Brown Insurance was founded in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1939 by cousins J. Adrian Brown and Charles Covington Owen. In 1959, Adrian Brown’s son, Hyatt, took leadership of the family business. Under his leadership, the Brown & Brown vision of a lean and decentralized profit-oriented organization came into focus. In 1997, Brown & Brown became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The company has continued to thrive under the leadership of J. Powell Brown who took over as CEO in 2009, becoming the third generation of Brown’s to lead the company.

Powered by a culture that values individual initiative and instills in each teammate an indomitable “can-do” attitude, Brown & Brown is arguably the most efficient operating platform in the insurance brokerage business.
