The Prewitt Group logo

Since 1974, J.R. Prewitt & Associates has built a name as one of the premier insurance providers in our area. As we approach our 45th year, we’ve updated our name and logo to accurately position us for the future.

Our new name, The Prewitt Group, better ties our legacy of service excellence to our present-day offerings through partnerships with our vast network of top-rated insurance carriers—all aligned to provide our clients, whether personal or professional, with an unmatched portfolio of custom insurance products. It’s a brand that’s purpose-built to highlight our strength as an insurer and ability to protect you from anticipated risk.

Our new logo depicts the qualities J.R. Prewitt & Associates has come to be associated with since 1974: The shield, a universal symbol for protection from danger, risk or unpleasant experience and the lion, a positive depiction in human culture of strength and nobility.

We’ve always been committed to providing the most excellent experience today, so we can better serve you tomorrow. That’s the strength and determination you’ve come to depend on with our comprehensive approach to covering your insurance needs.

That’s “the power to mitigate risk.”

In fact, our tagline, “the power to mitigate risk,” concisely sums up what The Prewitt Group’s mission has been since our company was founded: To expertly handle all of your insurance needs whether personal or professional, with the utmost attention to detail and comprehensive protection from anticipated risk. Our new brand is a reflection of what we’ve always focused on as a family-owned and operated firm, a commitment to excellence to better serve you tomorrow.
