Company History

Brownell Insurance Agency started in April of 1986. At the time, Marie Brownell worked at Prudential Insurance and wanted to build a strong book of business. The agency's first home was at 4 Crystal Avenue in Derry, NH. A prior shoe store, there was plenty of work to do to get it into a working insurance agency. Marie had one employee at that time and their efforts earned a top sales position at Prudential in 1987. For the next several years, the agency continued to grow at a rapid pace, eventually outgrowing the original office space.

At the end of April of 1987, Rick Brownell joined the agency and made BIC truly a family affair. We remained captive agents for Prudential until 1991. Prudential was changing, P & C was no longer a focus. This prompted the Brownells to join forces with Gloria Fields in 1992 and form Brownell Insurance Center, Inc. (BIC). No longer captive agents, Rick and Marie with 2 employees, moved to 122 West Broadway, Derry to open their new independent insurance agency. Being in our own building gave further opportunities for the business to continue to flourish. The insurance industry has had many fluctuations but our family agency has been able to weather the storm.

In 2004, Marie Brownell rejoined the agency after pursuing her Masters Degree in Education. She formed Brownell Financial Services Group, LLC (BFSG). With the help of the parent company, BIC, we are forming an alliance with New England Financial (NEF). With Scott Hayward and the NEF team, BFSG will help BIC expand the book of business. We will also provide our clients with the full service and products we have been well known for. The future of both companies is quite bright and the anticipated growth of our client base substantial.

Rick and Marie are very proud of the accomplishments of BIC and wish to thank all of our employees and clients contributions to help make this dream come true. We are excited to open this next chapter in our agency's history.
