ORLANDO, FL – July 31, 2024 – AssuredPartners (“AP”), a premier global insurance brokerage, announces the completion of its 500th acquisition with the recent close of St. Petersburg, Florida-based Jack Rice Insurance Agency. This significant milestone reflects the company's relentless pursuit of excellence and its commitment to provide superior insurance and risk management solutions. Through strategic acquisitions, AssuredPartners continues to enhance its market presence and deliver innovative services to clients.

AP’s core value of 'Power Through Partnership' underscores the significance of collaborative relationships in driving both individual and collective success.

Each acquisition allows us to integrate new talent, technology, and market insights that enrich our service offerings and operational capabilities.”

Founded in 2011, AssuredPartners quickly grew with four acquisitions in Kentucky, New York, and New Jersey in its first few months. Since then, the company has expanded with acquisitions in 40 states, 250 cities across the country, and four countries in Europe. "Joining AP has provided us with unparalleled access to a wealth of employee benefits resources and exceptional talent, significantly boosting our team's efficiency and knowledge," expressed Courtney Beatty, Agency President of an acquired firm in 2021. "The willingness of everyone at AP to assist with even the smallest queries or the most complex challenges is remarkable. It's truly invigorating to be part of an organization that continually encourages collaboration and the exchange of ideas."

Jack Rice Insurance proudly holds the distinguished title of the official 500th acquisition. “Since Jack Rice Insurance began in 1985, their team has had a strong reputation for fostering valuable relationships with clients and supporting national and local philanthropies,” said Jack Suber, AP Southeast Regional President.
