The Buckner Company was recently ranked as the 16thfastest-growing privately held insurance agency in the nation, according to Hales and Company's 2011 annual report. As the third largest Utah-based agency, The Buckner Company has seen rapid growth and continued success in recent years.
What began as a modest one-man agency in Ogden, Utah in 1936, has gone on to become one of the largest and fastest-growing insurance brokerage firms in the United States. Terry Buckner, the grandson of the founder, E.R. Buckner, is currently the President and CEO. Under his watch, the firm has more than quadrupled its employee count and opened a second and third location.
And this is just the beginning. Buckner has plans up his sleeve to continue opening satellite offices throughout the Intermountain West. Recent growth in the Idaho market has proven more successful than anticipated. Further expansion in Idaho is in the works.
