Deer Park, IL — Monday, June 23, 2025 — The Plexus Groupe, a leading national commercial insurance brokerage and consulting firm is proud to celebrate the five-year anniversary of its Florida office, located in Tampa. This milestone marks a significant chapter in the firm’s strategic expansion and continued commitment to serving clients in one of the nation’s most dynamic and complex markets.
In 2020, The Plexus Groupe entered the Florida market through two acquisitions that laid the foundation for its Tampa presence. This move was a strategic response to a growing client base with ties to Florida — individuals and families relocating to or investing in the Sunshine State.
“This was our entry into a difficult and unique marketplace,” said Gerald Fawcett, President of The Plexus Groupe. “At the time, we saw a shift in our clientele’s needs, with many moving to and living in Florida. Establishing a physical presence here allowed us to better serve those clients and expand our capabilities.”
The Tampa office has become a cornerstone of the firm’s Private Client Practice, offering tailored insurance and risk management solutions for high-net-worth individuals and families. Over the past five years, the Florida client base has grown steadily, reflecting the increasing demand for sophisticated, localized service in a key geographic market.
“Our Florida acquisitions were a core addition to our Private Client Group,” added Fawcett. “They provided essential access to a state that is vital for our client base. As our firm continues to grow, we look forward to expanding our services beyond Private Client within the Florida office.”
Looking ahead, The Plexus Groupe is committed to deepening its presence in Florida, with plans to broaden its service offerings and further invest in talent and infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of clients throughout the region.
