Oakbridge Insurance Agency LLC (Oakbridge), one of the largest independent insurance and risk management agencies in the United States, today announced a new partnership with Vidalia, Georgia’s Bishop-Durden-Hale Insurance Group.
Bishop-Durden-Hale Insurance Group specializes in manufacturing, schools and municipalities, and hospitality.
We’ve known the principals at Bishop-Durden-Hale Insurance Group for many years,” said Oakbridge CEO Robbie Smith. “They’re great partners and will be a tremendous asset to Oakbridge.”
“We go back 25 years,” says Brian Bishop, the agency’s president. “We’ve worked with the founding partners since we started our agency. We’ve collaborated on several industry-leading initiatives over the years, all designed to elevate the work we do here in Georgia.”
The partnership provides both firms with access to a broader pool of resources, industry knowledge and continued opportunities for growth.
“It also gives us an extensive set of tools – operationally and administratively,” says Nick Hale, vice president at the agency. “We’ll focus on the back-office first.
