Our background

Arthur J. Gallagher founded the business in a basement office in Chicago in 1917. Our Global Chairman, CEO and President, J. Patrick Gallagher – Arthur’s grandson – started as an intern in 1972 and has worked to carry on his family legacy: to protect businesses of all shapes and sizes and to help them grow with confidence. Gallagher has remained true to its’ origins of having the heart of a family business culture.
