Bouvier: We don’t just insure like family, we are family
About us
Bouvier Insurance, formerly Bouvier Beckwith & Lennox (BBL), Inc. was established by Robert F. Bouvier in 1959 and has grown into a full service insurance agency now led by his son Robert R. Bouvier, handling all types of insurance from our home office in West Hartford, CT with branch locations throughout Connecticut as well as Westerly, RI; Nashville, TN; and Atlanta, GA. Our agency was built on honesty and integrity and has grown over the last sixty-plus years as a direct result of our reputation. Our outstanding track record is due in part to the quality of our work and the exemplary customer service we provide to each of our personal and commercial clients. We are proud to say that we have stayed true to our values and are committed to the clients and communities we serve.
As we look forward to our next 50 years, our promise to our clients is that we will remember where we came from, and approach the future with our attention on maintaining consistency and integrity in all our decisions. First and foremost, we know our future success hinges on nurturing the wonderful relationships we have built. Our focus remains on representing the finest insurance carriers in the industry and delivering the best value and service for our customer’s insurance dollar.
We take pride in the work that we do and strive to share our expertise with you. Find out more about all things insurance from our Insurance Wisdom blog!

Become our Partner.
We look at each affiliation opportunity differently and approach it in a way that meets your goals and objectives. Whether it’s an outright buyout or you retain an equity position in the transaction, we can custom tailor a plan that’s right for you. In most cases, we are able to maintain the existing locations, staff and that all-important presence in the communities that you serve.
Insurance agency owners face tough issues each and every day as they try to conduct their businesses. Some of the issues that our partner agencies have approached us with are:
PERPETUATION
“I hope to retire soon but I have no one
to continue the business…”
INABILITY TO GROW
“I have to grow to stay in business but just maintaining what I have is taking all of my time …”
LOSS OF MARKETS
“I can’t meet the increasing production goals and if I lose another market I don’t know what I’ll do …”
STAFFING CONCERNS
“Everyone tells me, ‘just hire a new producer’”… I can’t find any and if I did, how would I provide training or competitive markets since I’m stuck behind the desk just trying to hold onto what I have?”
INABILITY TO ATTRACT NEW MARKETS
“I can’t keep up with competition and none of the competitive companies will talk to me without a plan for how I will meet new business goals…”
PROGRAMS
“I need access to programs in order to grow my business and set myself apart from the competition…”
If any of this sounds familiar, it may be time to consider affiliating with Bouvier Insurance. We have the resources and expertise to ensure a smooth transaction. All inquiries will be held in the strictest confidence, and we welcome any conversation, no matter how preliminary.
