Brown & Brown of Kentucky, a subsidiary of Brown & Brown Inc., has acquired substantially all of the assets of FNI Management Group.
With more than 60 years of combined experience, Howard Brinn and Mike Mitchell, the principals of FNI, have served their dealer clients by providing F&I products and training in the Chicagoland market. FNI has annual revenues of $1.5 million. Brinn and Mitchell will become part of the Brown & Brown auto, RV and powersports practice, working with the Automotive development group team. The entire practice operates under the leadership of Mike Neal, president of Brown & Brown of Kentucky.
“Howard and Mike have a wealth of experience in the automotive dealership market in the greater Chicago area,” said Neal. “We believe that their F&I experience will further strengthen our Midwest presence when coupled with Joel Kansanback, Bill Kelly and the recently acquired Automotive Development Group team.”
“I am extremely excited to be joining a world class organization,” said Brinn. “Mike and I feel that combining our efforts and experience with Brown & Brown-Automotive Development Group will allow us to enhance our service to our dealer partners and continue to grow.”
