Partnering with the Earl Bacon team strengthens our presence in Florida and reinforces our focus on thoughtful, disciplined growth.\u201d<\/p>

\nEarl Bacon Agency will continue operating under its existing leadership in North Florida, maintaining continuity in client relationships and day-to-day service. The firm\u2019s advisors will now have access to Oakbridge\u2019s broader specialty expertise, collaborative support, and national carrier relationships.<\/p>
