September 27, 2016
COLUMBIA, SC – The employee benefits consulting and brokerage operation of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (Gallagher) announced the hiring of Brian Morris as Area Vice President based in Columbia, South Carolina.
Morris will focus on establishing a benefits consulting operation in the Columbia office. As a local resource for employee benefits consulting expertise, his experience will help Gallagher strengthen its position as a leading provider of international insurance brokerage and risk management services in the surrounding area. Prior to Morris’ arrival, Gallagher’s Columbia office focused mostly on commercial insurance and risk management.
“Brian’s addition comes at a time when the need for more holistic services for organizations in South Carolina is increasing. Based on Gallagher’s recent survey findings, South Carolina employers are most concerned with attracting and retaining talent, controlling benefit costs, and revenue and sales growth. Brian brings 20 years of healthcare experience to our Columbia-based office so now we are even better positioned to meet the complex needs of our clients,” said Rick Gantt, Area President for Gallagher Benefits Consulting.
Gantt added, “Before joining Gallagher, Brian worked with thousands of South Carolina physicians to provide quality insurance programs designed specifically for their practices, including his work with a subsidiary of the South Carolina Medical Association. Brian has a reputation for developing creative solutions, energy, drive and passion – all winning qualities that will create value for clients and organizations in Columbia.”
