Our History
Our story began in 1927 with a desire to find a better way of doing business and the entrepreneurial courage to be different. We didn't just want to be another insurance brokerage; instead we wanted to help people solve problems in an authentic and above all, ethical, way. Our 12 consecutive recognitions as one of the Ethisphere Institute's Most Ethical Companies are testament to this. In fact, we're the only broker to have earnt this accolade.
Over the years, Gallagher has expanded our breadth of offerings with risk management, HR benefits and consulting and wealth management. And we're just getting started.
