Agency Positioned for Continued Growth
We’d like to announce the retirement of President & CEO Marshall Fleming and, at the same time, introduce David A. Erwin as his successor. Marshall led the company for over twenty years from its inception, making David the second President & CEO of the agency.
Bankers Insurance experienced tremendous growth under Marshall’s leadership as it expanded into new markets to become one of the largest privately-owned independent insurance agencies in the country. “Marshall did a phenomenal job leading Bankers and cultivating strong relationships among its member banks, carrier partners, and employees,” says Jeffrey V. Haley, Chairman of the Board. “I speak on behalf of the board in thanking Marshall for his service and wishing him continued joy and prosperity in his retirement.”
We knew we needed a strong leader to expand upon this foundation and we are thrilled to have David on board. “David’s vast experience in insurance, banking, and mergers and acquisitions is the perfect fit for Bankers as we look to continue growing the agency both organically and through selective M&A,” Haley remarked.
David joined Bankers Insurance on October 18, 2021, with a distinguished executive leadership career which includes directing several large insurance brokerage and banking operations, including President & CEO of Borden Insurance, Regional Managing Director of Texas for Wells Fargo Insurance Services, President & CEO of BBVA Compass Insurance Agency, Inc., and twenty-two years with JP Morgan Chase Bank and BBVA Compass Bank. David received his Bachelor of Business Administration from Texas A&M University.
“I’m delighted to join such a strong and reputable insurance agency,” David says. “It was obvious to me that Bankers Insurance has a strong sales and client-service focus, but also an exceptional employee culture.”
Bankers Insurance LLC was formed by a consortium of community banks in 1999. Today it supports over thirty office locations in Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Tennessee. It is contracted with hundreds of insurance companies, and coverage offerings include all major insurance lines such business, employee benefits, home, and auto.
