Insurance Veterans Join Forces to Create Florida-based Fletcher|Stein

Florida insurance executives John Fletcher and Rick Stein joined forces to continue the legacy of the Jacksonville firm, McNeill, Garrison & Fletcher.

Fletcher, prior president and majority shareholder of McNeill, Garrison & Fletcher, now owns 50 percent of the newly named company. Stein, who purchased the other half of the company, is bringing new employees and clients to the firm. Stein and Fletcher will serve as co-chairmen and managing partners of the new entity, which will be called Fletcher|Stein.

Corrine Garrison, former and founding partner in the brokerage, will continue as a key employee, servicing clients and working with the new leadership.

Fletcher and Stein, whose families have a deep shared history in Jacksonville, worked together in the 1990s at insurance brokerage and benefits consulting firm Palmer & Cay.

Fletcher|Stein will include 21 employees and offices in Jacksonville Beach, downtown Jacksonville and Pensacola. Its geographic reach will range from North Florida throughout the Southeast. Mike Sullivan, who has more than 30 years of insurance industry experience, will serve as president of the company.
