About Us

Driving value. Increasing profit. Building success together.

Welcome to Ironpeak!

Ironpeak is one of the oldest and largest networks of fiercely independent P&C agencies in the country. Today, we have over 2,800 Members, whose premiums range from less than $2 million to over $200 million. In 2023, we wrote $3 billion in premiums with affiliated carrier partners.

Year-over-year, we’ve helped deliver profitable growth for our Members and carriers—it’s part of our DNA. Learn more about how we can help you grow stronger, more resilient, and even more successful.

Meet our leadership team

At our heart:

Your independence and strength are fundamental to our strategy.

Independent. Always.

We never take an equity position in a Member’s agency. Members continue to work with carriers outside of our relationship.

Tailored approach. Personal touch.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution here. Choose the markets, and resources that best meet your needs. Partner with us as much or as little as you want. You’re in the driver’s seat.

Experience to rely on.

Tap into the knowledge and expertise of our 55+ strong field team for unbiased, objective information and market intel.

Advice you can trust.

We specialize in cutting through complexity to solve your thorniest challenges. We’re committed to helping you achieve your goals.

Proud to provide a regional touch.

We know the local marketplace, the carriers operating there, and the opportunities and challenges facing local agencies. That’s why we formed six regional entities, each focusing on one area of the country.

Let’s connect

Founded in

1977

Founded by agents for agents.

We were founded in 1977 by Paul Branch, a second-generation owner of a successful independent agency in Western New York. His goal? To bring together high-performing independent agencies, and leverage their combined results to improve carrier access, compensation, and competitive position. That remains our goal today.

At Ironpeak we take business personally. Laurie Branch now helms the company, and we’re still headquartered in the community where we were founded. As we’ve grown, we’ve never forgotten the importance of relationships or the value of connection—and we know that there’s no substitute for experience.

Strong connections. More possibilities.

We’ve built deep, trusted relationships with a core group of carrier partners—so we can help you make the connections you need.
