The Horton Group has created an impressive organization since its inception in 1971 as an 8 person insurance agency in Orland Park, Illinois, just outside Chicago. The firm has since grown to include additional locations in downtown Chicago, Wisconsin, Indiana, Arizona, Tennessee and even China. Expansion has been hastened with acquisitions during the past 4 years including Health Care System Consultants, Inc., Southwest Benefit Systems, Inc., Ronald Assise Insurance Group and BearPaw, Inc. Such acquisitions have enabled The Horton Group to remain ever-responsive to client needs. In addition, Horton remains a vital resource for the business community and builds potential client connection through its inventive education tool The Horton Group Learning Center which provides an extensive list of "Best In Class Workshops” organized into four keys areas: Safety, Risk Management, Employee Benefits and Human Resources/Legal. Workshops are available at a central location or at off-site facilities as requested. Horton’s customer service initiatives also include online capabilities for 24/7 access and "Ethicspoint,” a comprehensive and anonymous internet and telephone based reporting tool to guard against improper business conduct. Horton reflects its community commitment through an aggressive public service program which includes participation or donation to over 73 separate organizations.
