THE LOCKTON AFFINITY STORY
Nearly 40 years of industry impact
Lockton Affinity was founded in 1987 as an affiliate of Lockton Companies, one of the world’s largest privately owned insurance brokers.
Formed to meet an underserved market, Lockton Affinity began by building tailored insurance programs for affinity groups, associations, non-profits and other common cause groups. Over the years, Lockton Affinity has become one of the nation’s leading program administrators, insuring more than 120,000 businesses.
In addition to our success in the sponsored program space, Lockton Affinity has expanded our offerings to provide wholesale/MGU solutions and backroom administration services. In fiscal year 2024 alone, we partnered with more than 7,700 agents and completed more than 1 million transactions.
