DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Brown & Brown of Kentucky, a subsidiary of Brown & Brown Inc., this week announced the acquisition of F&I Resources, an income development company serving dealers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

According to the announcement, the F&I Resources team, including Principals Jason Bayko and Bob Hunter, will become part of Brown & Brown’s auto, RV, and powersports practice, which operates under the leadership of Mike Neal, president of the company’s Brown & Brown Kentucky subsidiary.

“Jason and Bob have grown F&I Resources to be a best-in-class operation delivering sales performance training and warranty insurance products for their dealer partners,” said Neal. “The F&I Resources team will provide additional expertise to our growing platform in this space and establish a base for operations in the Northeast.
