The Wells County Chamber of Commerce is excited to welcome The Wright Insurance Company to the community. Located just outside of city limits at 430 N 450 E, Bluffton, The Wright Insurance Company is a local insurance brokerage founded in 2016 by Brandon Wright.
Brandon began his career with Farm Bureau Insurance, gaining valuable experience before deciding to venture out on his own. “We started this company from scratch,” Wright shares. “We didn’t buy a book of business. We built it from the ground up, beginning in Indianapolis, where we still have an office, and I travel back and forth every other week.”
The Wright Insurance Company differentiates itself by functioning as a brokerage rather than representing a single carrier. “We have over 20 insurance carriers that we work with, which allows us to shop around for our clients and find the best coverage for their needs,” explains Wright. “While many people turned to online options for insurance in the mid-2000s, we saw an opportunity to offer both choice and personalized advice. We provide a unique approach where we shop around for clients and then put an advisor in front of them to discuss the coverages that will fit their needs.”
With a relaxed approach to business, The Wright Insurance Company prides itself on building relationships rather than making cold calls. “We’ve never relied on cold calls or call lists,” Wright states. “Our business is 100% referral-based, and we work with people who enjoy working with us. We’re here to support the community.”
As a “whole house brokerage,” The Wright Insurance Company offers every line of insurance. Wright explains, “I’m good enough at everything but a master of none. For specialized needs, I have brokers who are experts in specific areas, whether it’s a customized farming operation or a unique business need.”
When asked about the company’s future, Wright emphasizes the importance of community involvement. “We love being part of the Bluffton community and several local organizations. Our goal is to support our clients and the community. If we have a client who owns a business, we patronize that business. If they run a farm, we support them in whatever way we can.”
Looking ahead, Wright hopes to continue growing the business sustainably. “Our five-year plan is to continue to grow sustainably, potentially adding another advisor as our number of clients increases. It’s an exciting time to be part of this community.”
