about the vincent agencies

The agency founder, Charlie Vincent, began his insurance career in September 1967 working as an agent in a sales booth across the street from the famous “Big Chicken” in Marietta, Ga. Brit Vincent joined his father in the family’s business in November 1987. In 2000, Brit acquired the agency from his father, and Charlie began enjoying a well deserved retirement.

In response to his clients’ requests, and to more fully satisfy his client’s personal and business insurance needs, Brit partnered with Catherine Groves, a health insurance professional, to form Vincent Benefits Specialists, LLC. Brit, along with an outstanding staff of licensed agents, continue to provide their clients with the same high standard of customer service upon which his father founded the business more than forty-years ago.

Brit Vincent strongly believes that it is the responsibility of the private citizens and corporations to support and serve their local communities and their fellow citizens. Over the years Brit Vincent has served the community in multiple areas and ways.  Most of his focus has been on helping children.
