We have always charted our own course. 

In 1992, our competitors thought vertical integration represented the future of our business.  We disagreed and instead opened the first truly independent wholesale insurance brokerage. This year, as some of our competitors have been dismantled, we are on pace to place more than $1 billion in gross premium, making us one of America’s largest specialty wholesale insurance brokers. 

Our independent model has attracted brokers with an entrepreneurial spirit to our ranks – men and women who are more energetic, more competent in building meaningful business relationships, and more savvy about leveraging those relationships in the marketplace. And because they did not have a captive flow of in-house retail business they have had to work hard to earn every piece of business.

In late 2004, Colemont’s Board of Directors made a strategic decision to embark on an international expansion.  And since then, we have been building an international brokerage firm based on the same business model and the same historical values. 

We are working to open offices and recruit brokers who share our belief that an independent and entrepreneurial brokerage firm will prosper in today’s insurance marketplace.  We are fully invested in and committed to our rapidly growing overseas network. 

And no matter where we are expanding we will be charting our own course.
