Brown & Brown Acquisition means job growth in Columbia JOB GROWTH IN COLUMBIA - Build up of Adair County jobs at Columbia Commercial Insurance Service support team's Center will result from Brown & Brown's acquisition of Automotive Development Group. As the group adds sales, a larger team will be necessary at Brown & Brown of Kentucky's office building opened in early 2017, on the Adair County Veterans Memorial Bypass. With that facility, some 25 high paying jobs were added in the 5,000 s.f facility.  Photo: Brown & Brown of Kentucky's new 5,000 s.f facility opened just over 1 year ago.Introduction Mike Neal, President of Brown & Brown of Kentucky, foresees immediate incremental growth at the center due to the parent company's acquisition, saying, "With the addition of this 30 plus new talented and quality teammates from Automotive Development Group, which drive sales and really give a strong presence in the Midwest, this acquisition will continue the need to build a larger team here in our Columbia Commercial Insurance Service support team. The new team in the Midwest should also feed more business and these are integrated in into our Point of Sale Personal Lines Call Center in Adair County, so that should also drive more hiring as times goes along. This is the new building we opened a little over a year ago here in Columbia with the help of the Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Authority, Adair County Judge Executive Mike Stephens, Columbia Mayor Curtis Hardwick and the Kentucky Economic Development Cabinet. GlobeNewswire Story DAYTONA BEACH, FL, (14 May 2018) (Globe Newswire) - J. Scott Penny, Chief Acquisitions Officer of Brown & Brown, Inc. (BRO), and Joel Kansanback and Bill Kelly, the principals of Automotive Development Group, LLC ("ADG"), today announced that Brown & Brown of Kentucky, Inc., a subsidiary of Brown & Brown, Inc., has acquired substantially all of the assets of ADG. ADG is a performance improvement company providing F&I training and auto warranty and related products for auto dealer clients across the United States. ADG has annual revenues of approximately $11 million. The ADG team will become part of the Brown & Brown auto, RV and powersports practice, which operates under the leadership of Mike Neal, President of Brown & Brown of Kentucky, Inc. Mike stated, "As the Brown & Brown presence in the auto/F&I space has continued to grow, we saw the need for a well-developed platform to enhance that growth. Joel and Bill have built a sophisticated program to deliver insurance products to their dealer partners while helping those partners optimize their operations. We believe the ADG team will complement our existing operations and bring more solutions to our clients." Joel Kansanback stated, "We felt like the changing automotive space provides a unique opportunity to really help dealers. Partnering with Brown & Brown gives us the backing to capitalize on that and grow at a much faster pace." Bill Kelly added, "Once we met the management team at Brown & Brown we realized that is was a perfect fit for us culturally. The shared vision of putting the needs of our dealer clients first with a collection of the best training and best insurance offerings in the industry is a winning formula." Brown & Brown, Inc., through its subsidiaries, offers a broad range of insurance products and related services. Additionally, certain Brown & Brown subsidiaries offer a variety of risk management, third-party administration, and other services.
