About Us

Established in 1934 by Bernard F. Williams, Bernard Williams & Company is independently owned and serves the insurance and risk management needs of over 4,000 businesses and families throughout Georgia and the Southeast. Headquartered in Savannah, Bernard Williams & Company offers clients a winning combination of quality, service and value from a carefully selected group of financially sound, reputable insurance companies. Our company utilizes state-of-the-art software and systems for efficient customer service and accurate information management. We also use computer rating programs to help us select the companies and policies that will best suit a client’s specific needs, from Life, Health & Financial Services, to Personal Insurance for your Home, Car and other personal possessions and liability exposures, as well as your Business Insurance needs, whether small or large.
 

Our Primary Objective

Our Primary Objective is to establish a relationship — a partnership — between you, the insurance company, and our agency; to provide you with coverage, loss control services, and claim services that are comprehensive, efficient, and mutually beneficial. Since 1934, superior service has been our trademark. Today, as always, we continue to offer our clients a winning combination of quality, service, and value. We want to become your insurance counselor and to contribute to your financial growth and success by providing you with a comprehensive insurance and risk management program.

A Professional Agency with Personal Service

A dedication to fairness and honesty in all our dealings, a genuine interest in the needs and concerns of our clients, personal service, and a total commitment to client satisfaction are the cornerstones of our reputation. Our account executives use their professional training and experience to match the coverage to the client by attention to each client’s specific needs and exposures. At Bernard Williams & Company, our goal is to be a full service insurance center responsive to the varied needs of all our clients. In order to accomplish this, we need to make you aware of the full range of insurance products and services that we offer.

We Are an Independent Insurance Agency Working for You

Bernard Williams & Company is an independent insurance agency, which means we work for you — not for an insurance company. When you have a loss, we work on your side and follow through to see that you get fair, prompt payment and service. We represent a carefully selected group of financially sound, reputable insurance companies; therefore, we are able to offer you the best coverage at a competitive price.
