Four leading insurance agencies in the Southeast (Founders Insurance, Hutchinson Traylor, McGinty Gordon & Associates, and Waites & Foshee) have merged to create Oakbridge Insurance Agency LLC, one of the largest privately-owned agencies in the region. The combined staff of approximately 175 employees will operate from the 15 current offices. For years, the leadership at all four respected agencies have known and worked alongside each other. Each firm holds excellent industry and community reputations, talented and dedicated people, enviable client rosters, and are remarkably alike in culture, values, workflows, and commitment to the communities they serve.The name Oakbridge was chosen to provide to each stakeholder the confidence that we face the future firmly rooted in the stability of dealing with the same people, the same carrier partners, and the same approach to excellence that has defined each of the founding agencies.
