About Us
Helping Secure Your Bottom Line
Founded in 1941, The Underwriters Group is built on a solid foundation of individualized customer service and commercial insurance expertise.
We Are Leaders
The Underwriters Group and Higginbotham are a privately-owned and truly independent risk management firm helping businesses protect their people, their assets and their futures. Whether it’s designing and implementing risk management solutions or servicing existing policies, this approach leads to the development of unique client relationships, allowing us more clarity in understanding our customers’ business needs.
Combine our professional customer service with a broad range of insurance expertise, and you have the simple formula for our growth and longevity. Our team is well-equipped in all facets of commercial insurance, allowing us to provide customized products that include risk management, employee benefits, group health, loss prevention and more.
For over 80 years, our mission has remained the same. The Underwriters Group helps to secure your bottom line by offering quality insurance products, intelligent risk management and detailed customer service.
We have all the top markets, international capabilities and a local touch that puts you first.
Higginbotham is comprised of regional offices that combine resources and expertise to provide a single source solution for commercial and personal coverage, employee benefits, retirement plans, life insurance and executive benefits through broad market representation. Whether for your business, employees or family, The Underwriters Group can serve your regional and global needs as a Higginbotham partner. Together, we’re one of the largest independent insurance firms in the nation, yet our local concentration keeps us accessible. Getting you covered is just what we do on day one. Through Higginbotham, we can support you on day two and every day after. It’s what we call Day Two Services® because we deliver everything you need to limit your risks, manage your plans and control your costs throughout the term of your insurance policies.
Like Higginbotham, The Underwriters Group has always taken a community-first approach to business. From fine arts to athletic events; from cultural celebrations to service club projects; from deserving charities to civic revitalization, the staff at The Underwriters Group is doing our part to make our community a great place to work, live and raise families.
Our Values
Family
We are family to our employees.
We don’t just hire the best in the industry—we hire the best people.
We invest in our employees so they have the tools they need to succeed, both professionally and personally. Because when relationships are developed from the inside out, progress is sure to follow.
It’s why our people consistently vote us as an employer of choice. But, we’re more than an employer, we’re a Higginbotham family.
Accountable
We are accountable to our clients.
With Higginbotham, you’re not a policy number. You’re a person. Maybe you’re a business owner with a growing enterprise. Maybe you’re an employer who wants to equip your workers so they provide your customers with the best service possible. Maybe you’re a provider for your family.
We get to know your priorities because we’re not just in the business of selling insurance—we’re in the business of forming relationships. That’s why our Day Two Services® are there for you 365 days of the year.
Teammates
We are teammates to our carries and dedicated to building strong strategic partnerships.
Those relationships mean better service for you. We choose to work with carriers who share our passion for providing high-quality products and personalized service. So, you can be confident you’re in good hands.
Our team knows the needs of our clients, and our carriers use that insight to enhance the services they provide. Because when our clients win, we all win.
Generous
We are generous to our communities.
Our care for people goes beyond business. We invest and serve in our local communities.
At Higginbotham, we encourage and empower our employees to contribute their time, talent and treasure toward improving their neighborhoods.
Because our communities have inspired and supported our success, giving back is at the heart of all we do.
