Mark V. Williamson Co. Inc., also known as Williamson Insurance, a long-standing independent agency based in Little Rock, has been acquired by Inszone Insurance Services of Sacramento, California.
Inszone is a national provider of commercial, personal and benefits insurance.
Founded in 1974 by Mark V. Williamson, Williamson Insurance has served businesses and individuals across Arkansas for more than five decades. Mark S. Williamson joined the agency as a producer in 1988, continuing the family legacy and playing a key role in the agency’s long-term growth and leadership.
Over the years, Williamson Insurance expanded its ownership and leadership team. Bill Fletcher joined the agency in 2001 after a career as a commercial loan officer, bringing banking relationships and business insight to the firm.
“There were several factors that led us to Inszone,” Mark S. Williamson said in a press release from Inszone. “Beyond the additional resources they bring, what really stood out was Inszone’s business plan and their commitment to Main Street America. Many large agencies overlook mid-sized accounts, but Inszone values them and that aligned perfectly with who we are and how we serve our clients.”
Williamson Insurance will continue operating from its Little Rock location with its existing team in place, ensuring continuity for clients while gaining access to Inszone’s resources, technology and carrier relationships.
“Williamson Insurance is an exceptional agency with deep roots in Arkansas and a strong commitment to serving local communities,” Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services, said in the release. “Mark, and the entire team have built something special. We’re excited to partner with them, provide additional resources and market access, and continue delivering outstanding service to their clients.”
Inszone was founded in 2002 and serves clients through offices in California, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington, with additional expansion planned nationwide.
