Dietmar Poelzing, Larry Mullins, Bill Tavenner and Rich DeDreu have known each other for over 20 years.

They have represented some of the same companies and had the opportunity to visit many times at conventions, company meetings and association functions.

In early 1999, the managing partners of Brokerage Group International began their talks as to how brokers from Hawaii, South Carolina, Ohio, and Florida could contribute to a single entity that would provide competitive insurance products from quality carriers. Throughout 1999, meetings were held across the country at whatever venue offered a common meeting place.

After many meetings and conversations with attorneys, accountants, and merger veterans, Brokerage Group International, LLC was formed in the Fall of 1999. Two additional branches were added in May 2001 in Little Rock, Arkansas and Decatur, Illinois. A seventh branch was added in July 2001 in Peoria, Illinois when Greg & Tom Hunchusky joined the group.

What do seven branch offices mean to you? It means that we have the ability to call on the knowledge and contacts of our partners to help serve you better. This provides you with an unlimited amount of resources at your disposal so that you can find the best product for every client.
