Inszone Insurance Services Acquires Sanford, Bruker & Banks, Inc., Adding Over a Century of Experience to Its Roster

SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Inszone Insurance Services, a rapidly growing national provider of commercial, personal, and benefits insurance, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Sanford, Bruker & Banks, Inc., a historic independent insurance agency with roots dating back to 1915.

Founded over a century ago by Davenport Sanford, the agency has spent the last 111 years protecting families and businesses through world events, economic shifts, and massive industry changes. Sanford, Bruker & Banks has stood as a pillar of reliability for generations of clients. Under the leadership of current owner Jeffrey Banks, the agency has continued this incredible legacy, operating as a trusted generalist while developing a strong specialization in serving small and artisan contractors.

At 73 years old, Banks recognized the vital importance of succession planning. He wanted to ensure the agency's long-standing legacy would be protected.

"When you have a business that has been serving the community since 1915, you do not hand it over to just anyone," said Jeffrey Banks, owner of Sanford, Bruker & Banks, Inc. "I needed a concrete plan to ensure the business would continue to thrive. We spoke with several people who had worked with Inszone, and their feedback gave us the confidence that this was the right move for our clients and our future."

"It is a rare honor to welcome an agency with a history as deep and rich as Sanford, Bruker & Banks," said Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services. "For over a century, they have been a steady force for their clients, particularly the artisan contractors who rely heavily on their expertise. We are committed to providing Jeffrey and his team with the operational support needed to propel this historic agency into its next era."

Inszone remains focused on preserving the local identity and relationships that make independent agencies successful. Existing team members will remain in place, allowing clients to continue working with the people they know and trust while gaining access to expanded carrier relationships, technology, operational resources, and broader market expertise.
