Burns & Wilcox is the industry-leader in providing specialty insurance solutions. How we got here begins with roots established decades ago.
In 1969, the late Herbert W. Kaufman established Burns & Wilcox as an insurance wholesaler/MGA to provide brokers and agents with unique access to a variety of insurance markets and help place their specialty risks.
Mr. Kaufman began his career as a retail insurance agent. He set out to build a better wholesale/MGA platform that would partner with insurance companies and improve the standard of service provided to retail brokers and agents.
Today the entrepreneurial spirit of Burns & Wilcox continues to thrive under the direction of Mr. Kaufman’s son, Alan Jay Kaufman, the company’s Chairman, President and CEO. Burns & Wilcox now stretches to 60 offices throughout North America and includes more than 2,000 professionals. Under the stewardship of Mr. Kaufman, Burns & Wilcox has grown to over $2 billion in annual premiums through a series of strategic acquisitions, technical advancements and organic growth.
