The Third Generation Family Tradition Continues

Our Focus We sell insurance and provide business advice and consulting. While insuring clients like banks, manufacturers and condos, we also put a focus on small businesses and families. This makes what we do enjoyable, because small businesses and families are the foundation of our community. We’re Local My grandfather, John Hutt Sr., came to Bay County when property on the Gulf was $50 an acre. He opened the agency in 1961. My dad returned here in 1970 and was the real key to our additional business success. I’ve been back in the area for about 20 years now. I went to Mosley High School, Gulf Coast and FSU. I truly love Bay County and can’t imagine ever leaving.
Advice for New Businesses Watch your expenses. Treat your clients and employees well. Be a good, active member of your community. So many young people opening businesses today forget they owe something back to the community where they live. They forget they have a serious responsibility to make our community better. With so many service clubs, professional organizations and charities in need of assistance, there’s no shortage of opportunities to give back. The Future We’re watching the economy recover. Seeing new businesses opening and our contractors getting back to work really feels good. We’ll do a lot of the same things we’ve been doing for 50 years, although the way we do things may change slightly. We believe the future is bright for Northwest Florida, and we are proud to be a part of that excitement.
