About Us
About Us
Alera Group Raleigh offices (formerly TriSure and Bagwell & Bagwell) are two of the Triangle's most respected and long-standing insurance firms, each with a rich history of serving the region's businesses and individuals.
The Raleigh team (formerly TriSure) officially joined Alera Group in 2019. The office was founded in 1999, and was one of Raleigh's largest independently owned insurance brokerage and consulting firms. Committed to providing exceptional client service, the team helps local businesses manage property and casualty risks while offering employee benefits with honesty and financial integrity.
In 2021, Alera Group acquired a second Raleigh office (formerly Bagwell & Bagwell), expanding its presence in the Southeast. That office was founded in 1919, representing another of Raleigh's oldest, most trusted insurance agencies. With over 100 years of experience, they've served personal and commercial clients across North Carolina and beyond. For over three generations, the agency has endured and evolved to remain on the forefront in providing risk management and faithfully protecting clients.
