SALT LAKE CITY — Buckner, one of the largest insurance brokerage firms in the Mountain West, announced the opening of its eighth office location in St. George, further strengthening the company’s presence across Utah and supporting continued growth throughout Southern Utah.
The expansion comes during a milestone year for Buckner, as the company celebrates its 90th anniversary on December 1, 2026. Over the last nine decades, Buckner has grown into a leading regional brokerage with more than $50 million in annual revenue and offices throughout Utah, Idaho, and Colorado.
The new St. George location reflects both client demand and the region’s continued economic growth. Southern Utah remains one of the fastest-growing areas in the state, attracting new businesses, residents, and development at a rapid pace.
St. George native Jameson Carr will help lead Buckner’s expansion efforts in Southern Utah, bringing strong regional relationships and market knowledge to the firm’s growing presence in the area.
“Southern Utah has long been an important market for our firm,” said Terry Buckner, Chairman and CEO of Buckner. “We have valued clients throughout the region, and some of our outstanding team members come from the area as well. Opening an office in St. George felt like a natural next step and only a matter of time.”
Buckner noted that the initial office will serve as a foundational presence for the company in the region, with plans for additional expansion and a larger long-term footprint in Southern Utah already underway.
“As we celebrate 90 years in business, we remain focused on strategic growth while continuing to deliver the trusted relationships and service our clients have relied on for generations,” Buckner added.
Buckner provides commercial insurance, employee benefits, surety bonds, personal insurance, and risk management services to clients across the western United States. The firm is recognized for its strong client retention, long-standing industry relationships, and commitment to innovation and community involvement.
