Additional Culture Details
Inspired by people. Growing what’s good.
People are at the center of all we do at The Horton Group, and they have been since we were founded in 1971. Here, growth sets the agenda for our clients and our team members. When we talk about growth, we’re not talking about the ‘top line.’ We’re talking about growing a better business. Growing our capabilities to make a difference for our clients. Enabling the growth of what you’ve worked so hard for: your business, your people and your net worth.
We get it – you’re not just searching for an insurance broker. You’re looking for a partner. One who cares and promises to always have your back versus just putting a policy in place.
We have the curiosity to answer unasked questions and the fire to respond quickly. We have the care to explore the unconventional, pushing you to a better outcome. We have the experience to recognize the right risks to take and anticipate roadblocks before they become setbacks. These characteristics will result in outcomes that are worthy of your trust.
Horton is owned by the people who work inside the business every day, so we know how you want to feel taken care of. We know what it feels like to want someone to ‘go to the mat’ and handle challenges with urgency. We know how it feels when someone does the right thing for you. This is why we invest in relationships, care unconventionally and remain purposefully driven.
It’s how we help you, your employees and your business grow what’s good.

Values
- We Invest in Relationships.
- Relationships, whether personal or professional, are built on trust. We are people, and we work with empathy and compassion in everything we do and will communicate openly, honestly and directly.
We decide together where it makes sense to put time and resources. We don't just think about the end result – we also focus on the journey and impact of getting there.
