The History of Kilbride & Harris

Kilbride & Harris Insurance Services, LLC was formed in the winter of 2000 by its three principals Joe Kilbride, Chip Harris and Kim Bruce. Each one brings over 20 years experience to help supplement and guide their clients insurance purchasing decisions.

Large scale insurance agencies were all the rage but the mass market approach failed to deliver on a very specialized line of business.

The need for a highly specialized brokerage firm that concentrates on professional liability coupled with a perceived lack of brokerage firms focusing on this line of business has resulted in a very successful company.

In 2002 K&H adjusted again and responded to its clients request to develop an employee benefits division to help sheppard their clients through the increasingly complex health insurance market.

Today the firm has eleven employees and is continuing its strategic growth with the addition of more insurance professionals.

Our niche approach – not a generalist trying to be all things to all clients – has resulted in an extensive client base through out New England.

Our value as a broker is in our approach to our client’s insurance needs. The unique role that we adopt for them is to be a strong insurance advocate, skilled in the knowledge of complex insurance contracts, delivering proven cost saving results.
