CEO of Brown & Brown Absence Services Group, Michael Shunney, comments, "For years our businesses have led the market separately with advocacy and advisory services, but we have always believed the maximum benefit for our customers resides in the end-to-end solutions we can deliver. We are delighted to bring these services together and, more importantly, enhance our value to customers."
